Paul scored this wine: 92/100

A wonderful Pinot Noir with cherry aromas. A silky smooth texture with flavours of cherry and cranberry on the palette and a pleasant middling finish. Overall, a very well balanced Pinot with soft tannins. Great with chicken or turkey.

Delicate aromas of light fruit and slight florals. On the palate the flavours of light red berries are very well balanced. The wonderful long finish has hints of tart, almost citrus. Overall this is a great Pinot Noir!

Veneroso

Tenuta Di Ghizzano Veneroso 2012

Tuscany I.G.T, Italy
2778 days ago

Paul scored this wine: 89/100

This wine sets up like a classic Sangiovese with earthy/plum aromas (although it contains 30% Cabernet Sauvignon). On the palette there is plum and dark fruit with a hint of anise and strong tannins. The finish is long pleasant.
