Shop review: "89 Points on Wine Spectator. A beefy, herb-tinged red, sporting dense layers of plum sauce, grilled fig, and currant paste, stacked with notes of roasted game, rosemary, and hummus. The finish lingers, despite noticeable tannins. Gaglioppo, Greco Nero, Nerello Cappuccio, Magliocco Canino and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2016. 14,000 cases were made." -Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Odoardi Savuto poured a deep reddish/maroon color. As I swirled and took in the aroma, I was reminded of the scents of tires, asphalt, blackberries, cherries, and oak. Flavors of chickpeas, herbs, and plums stood out on the palate. A good amount of tannins could be detected upon finish.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
