Castello di Fonterutoli Toscana IGT Philip 2019

An exceptional vintage, and here you get an explosion of aromatics, showing the potential of the wine. Uplift, precision, juice, delivering the structure of Cabernet Sauvignon, with its dark fruit character, alongside the feshly cut and dried herbs of Tuscany with mouthwatering finish, coupled with an edge of bitterness. 30% new oak, mix of American and French. Marchesi Mazzei. An upscore from last time I tasted this, showing the benefit of verticals for making sense of a wine’s character.
