San Leonardo 2000
Tasting Notes
- Genuary 2010 - Fine Wine - 14.5/20
- Good depth of color, still youthful. A brooding nose, a bit dumb. The pakate displays juicy, meaty fruit with some fallaway on the finisch; the acid is adeguate as are the tannins but the fruiti s just a touch easy. More immediately and jammily attractive tha refined, not really built to last. Drink now for 5+ years.
