Fattoria Le Terrazze Rosso Conero Marches Italy 2012

Plum from the edge then shading to opaque plum at the core. Cherry, anise, plum and smoke carry the nose. Those carry over to the palate as well, but whatever cedar was in this wine before now seems to come across as rosemary. The finish is sweet with licorice. Smooth, round, integrated tannins make this a delight to drink and finish with a powdery texture. Unlike prior bottles, this showed only minuscule amounts of sediment. 13.5% alc. With veal saltimbocco and shiitake mushrooms. 09.16.17. Recommended.
