San Felice Vigorello 2011

Tasting Notes

The 2011 Vigorello shows ripe fruit aromas with dried plum, cherry and blackberry preserves at the front. Rich notes of tobacco, leather and Indian spice add to the wine's background intensity. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The mouthfeel is dense, syrupy and rich. The hot vintage leaves its mark, although there is enough freshness to keep it balanced and on track for medium-term cellar aging. Or you can happily drink it now, which might make more sense. Drink date: 2017-2024. (Monica Larner,robertparker.com,Jan. 31, 2017)
