POGGIO AL TESORA MEDITERRA TOSCANA - 2006

14% alcohol. Super Tuscan blend of Syrah, Merlot and Cabernet.

TASTING NOTES:

Dark cherry red color. Aromas of cherries and black currants. Sweet tannins, with a hint of oak, black currants and cherry cola. Charred oak on the finish.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

88 PTS

For $18 this is a great Super Tuscan at an affordable price. Wine Spectator gave this wine a 92 point score, which I'm not sure it delivers. That said, it is difficult to find this kind of quality in Super Tuscan without paying a lot more. Well worth the price tag.
