2006 Illuminati Zanna Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Colline Teramane Riserva DOCG
Dense, dark & devastating. Musk, sweet vanilla oak, smokey bacon & savoury notes. Crushed fennel & coriander seeds with cumin rounding out the irresistible spice trio. Chewy tannins with lashings of bold dark fruits & leather. There's a deliberate old shool earthiness. Roasted coffee beans, tar, licorice & bitter dark chocolate.
This is a stunning Italian beauty. Confronting, brooding & breathtakingly seductive. Very much like my bride. Demands a very long decant & longs for flavoursome food. Matched brilliantly with marinated lamb cutlets.
Tasted 27th & 28th January 2013
