2000 Tenuta di Trinoro Tenuta di Trinoro RP--95

Robert Parker: 95 Points
In the Cellar # N/A Apr 2007 Antonio Galloni 95 Drink: 2010 - 2020 $213 Franchetti once again takes ripeness to the extreme with his stunning 2000 Tenuta di Trinoro (55% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot). It is a flamboyant wine packed with generous sensations of blackberry liqueur, jammy dark fruit, bell peppers, cassis and minerals. Fat and opulent on the palate, it displays a youthful, muscular personality, with outstanding finesse for a wine of this size. It is an awesome effort. �The 2000 is really my first important wine,� says Franchetti. �The vines had a little age on them so the tannins are finer. The previous vintages also taught me a lot about when to harvest my various plots.� Anticipated maturity: 2010-2020.
