Cantine Dei Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva BOSSONA DOCG 2015

WS 95 / JS 94 / WE 93 / WA 91

WS: This red is broad, yet vivid and focused, featuring violet, blackcurrant, blueberry, iron and tobacco aromas and flavours. A swath of dense tannins lends support as this plays out on the long aftertaste. Distinctive and complex. Drink now through to 2036.

JS: Lots of ripe fruit, showing the ripeness yet balance of the vintage. It’s full-bodied with round, rich fruit and a flavourful finish. Chocolate and dried fruit with figs. Extremely long and delicious.

WE: This has a rather shy nose but eventually reveals black plum, underbrush, pressed violet and exotic spice aromas. The full-bodied, enveloping palate offers dried Marasca cherry, brandied prune and star anise flavors framed by fine-grained tannins.

WA: The Dei 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva Bossona is a thick and richly textured wine that shows the dark fruit and spice that characterizes this sunny vintage. Dried blackberry, plum cake, spice and leather give the wine a savoury and brooding quality that would match a charred steak on the grill.
