TASTING NOTE: The 2015 vintage of the robust Luigi Bosca is made from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon grape. It's beautifully balanced with deep layers of dark fruits, including blackberry, cassis and dark plum with a lick of dark spice and smoke. Ripe tannin with a supple mouthfeel. Decant one hour and enjoy with a rare steak. Drink: 2018-2022. Score - 92 (Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com, Nov. 25, 2018) |
