ILLUMINATI

Riparosso 2017

- 92 points -

Lots of soaked fruit, but delivered in a fresh, vibrant mode. Dark cherries, brambleberries, elderberry essence and notes of tar and ash linger on the nose. The abundant dark fruit belies the rather fine and sleek, medium-bodied palate that follows, delivering pretty acid crunch and a precise finish.
