2020 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera Flamboyant

Flamboyant

Dort liegt auch der weithin sichtbare Monte Vulture

delicate hints of blossom honey

and this wine (helped by a hot growing season and 15% alcohol) ticks all those boxes

2020 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera FlamboyantJames Suckling 99 The nose shows perfect cabernet franc character with roses, flower stems, hints of herbs, fresh sage and lavender as well as black currants and black berries. Full to medium body with tannins that melt into the wine and are wonderfully integrated. You feel them but don't see them. They are very vertical and rather endless. A truly great cabernet franc from 1. 5 hectares in Bolgheri. 5,000 bottles made. Best after 2028.
