Terra del Capo Sangiovese 2009
Hints of smokiness (cherry tobacco) combined with earthy mineral elements and rich fruit flavours such as prunes, apricots and peaches. This wine has an elegant tannin structure that ends softly with a slightly sweet sensation.

The aroma and flavour are reminiscent of strawberry jam, prunes, dried cherry and raspberry with an earthy meatiness on the palate. Sangiovese is an ideal companion to Italian food and cheeses. Soft 06; tobacco tints to sweet plum, wood dims excitement. (Platter 2009) This wine comes from the famous L’Ormarins Estate. This is a well known grape variety from Italy and is therefore an ideal accompaniment to Italian food dishes and cheese. The aroma & flavour are reminiscent of strawberry jam, prunes and dried cherry with almost a hint of earthiness on the nose. Whiffs sour cherry, raspberry & (attractive) metallic edge to delicate 2008. Persistent, balanced; delicious now, shd improve 2/3 yrs. This & next WO Coastal. (Platter 2011)
