Roggiano Morellino di Scansano DOCG, 2023

It shows a very deep ruby robe and medium-intensity aromas of tar with a hint of smoke, roast beef, grilled sundried tomato, cream, a hint of vanilla, black plum preserve and raw chocolate. The palate is dry with a medium acidity, a medium-plus extract, medium-plus fine-textured tannins and a medium-plus body. It demonstrates an impressive length and similar fruit intensity with elements of smoke/tar, grilled tomato, vanilla, black plum preserve and raw chocolate leading to a medium-plus to long finish. A lovely, attractive palate presence and a good value. This had no oak but acts as if it had some. 2025-2027–IR
