2013 Tenuta Fiorano Boncompagni Ludovisi Rosso (WAS $79.99)

"Good deep ruby. The inviting nose is dominated by aromas of cassis, mocha, and graphite that are clean and precise. Broad and fresh, with more of a black/blue fruit character rather than a red one, with nutty oak components carrying through towards the back. Pliant in mouth feel and nicely suave on the palate-coating finish, which features plenty of freshness and smooth tannins. A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot." - Ian D'Agata Review Date: May 2019
