Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia other_regions tomato-like notes that are nicely

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

and oodles of smoky black currant and blueberry fruit

Interestingly this is bigger and more powerful than the La Vigne au Saint but it’s not necessarily more structured

Deep in color

the same cant be said for the 1996 Krug

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia other_regions tomato-like notes that are nicelyThe 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.
