Poggio al Tesoro Dedicato A Walter 2005
Deep ruby red in color, extremely concentrated and rich, W seamlessly combines ultra-ripe aromas of blackberry, strawberry and currant with spicy notes of licorice, chocolate and smoke, offering a complex palette of flavors and aromas. Its luscious texture is framed by sweet, chewy, fine-grained tannins. Full-bodied, well balanced and with a long and persistent finish, this is a truly elegant wine. W is the wine of choice for rich fare such as steaks, fillet mignon, pot roast, game, and casseroles. A wine that no Cabernet lover should miss. Wine Enthusiast This 100% Cabernet Franc is dedicated to the late brother of Marilisa Allegrini (co-owner of the 110-acre estate). This is a top-notch wine, with succulence, intensity and outstanding wood integration. The spice, chocolate, campfire and leather notes blend seamlessly. In the mouth, the wine is vibrant and long-lasting, with chocolate notes on the finish. Score: 95. —Monica Larner, April 01, 2008.Wine Advocate The 2005 Dedicato a Walter (Cabernet Franc) is a wine that continues to impress. Varietal aromas emerge from the glass followed by a warm, generous expression of dark fruit as this beautiful, undeniably sexy wine flows from the glass. It offers lovely weight on the palate, with a variety of roasted coffee bean, spice and sweet herb overtones that emerge with air. From start to finish, the wine reveals superb balance and harmony. It is an outstanding effort in this vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2020. Score: 92. —Antonio Galloni, June 2008. |
