Item Description

2005 Il Molino de Grace Gratius Toscana 750ml

Item Special Note

95% Sangiovese, 3% Canaiolo, 2% Colorino. Deep, dark pomegranate red color that fades and starts bricking closer to the rim. Sweet, rich and characterful nose with ripe dark plummy fruit, forest fruits, some leather, a little wet wood, hints of tobacco and violets and a touch of chocolate oak. Dry, deep and complex palate with fruit-forward flavors of very ripe dark cherry, savory and meaty notes, some sour cherry bitterness, a little earth and nuances of smoke, peppery spice and dark chocolate oak. Wonderful structure of moderately high acidity and ample, grippy, powdery tannins. Even after four hours of air, the oak is kept check and the complex, slightly matured fruit stays in the lead. Long, spicy finish with flavors of dark cherry, ripe forest berries, some peppery spice and hints of tannic astringency.
