The medium-bodied flavors are not quite as concentrated as those of the straight Vosne villages

tomato-like notes that are nicely balanced by black cherries and earth

Deep in color

and oodles of smoky black currant and blueberry fruit

This knockout wine will age splendidly and will likely merit an even higher score in eight to ten years’ time

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia other_regions The medium-bodied flavors are notThe 2015 Tassinaia is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, now with an element of Syrah. The wine is fermented partly in steel and partly in oak and brings a breeze of spice from the get go. This second level red from Castello del Terriccio offers plenty of rich, exuberant and succulent fruit. I imagine it will open nicely over the next few years. Tassinaia is a selection of fruit from different vineyard parcels.
