Luigi Bosca Pinot Noir Reserva 2006

kennuncorked Tasting Notes

Appearance:
With the glass tilted, the wine is clear, bright and transparent.  The core is a medium pale cherry color moving to a medium-narrow dark pink rim.

Nose/Aromas:
Clean with an initial pronounced sweet black cherries followed by a moderate++ intensity of dark bitter-sweet chocolate and vanilla.  There is a slight hint of menthol or mint in the background.

Palate:
Dry, light bodied with tannin and medium mouthwatering acidity.  The fruit characteristics, including intensity, seem to be similar to the nose.  There is no perception of alcohol (the alcohol level = 14.0%) indicating the alcohol in well integrated into the wine and all the components are in balance.

Finish/Length:
Clean finish with a long finish. 

Cost:
Approximate retail price: US$19.00.

Producers Notes:

Shining ruby red color. A fresh, fruity and velvety wine with great body. With red berries, strawberries, violet and chocolate aromas, it is a vigorous and attractive wine which combines strength and elegance. (testawines.com and luigibosca.com.ar)
