Sella & Mosca Cannonau Di Sardegna Riserva 2008
Mind-blowing. Really. I was not expecting this level of complexity. This wine kept surprising me with layers of aromas and flavours. If you’ve ever questioned how wine can be juicy, this one is your answer. That was the first descriptor that jumped to mind after my first sip. A velvety and silky mouthfeel gives way to a robust and lingering finish. There’s intense leather with undertones of cola and dark chocolate on the bouquet, and flavours of dark cherry, chocolate and sweet spices, like cinnamon and cloves. This wine is an incredible value. I drank this one on the first night of my pseudo-tour, paired with roast boar. ($14.95)
