Note di degustazione
There is a gorgeous nuttiness to the 2015 Paleo. It is a highly aromatic expression of Cabernet Franc, with a bouquet of roses and some notes of red cherry. The vineyard team was careful in timing the harvest and fermentations to make sure the fruit did not come in too ripe and so they could maintain the natural freshness of the grapes. The oak used is moderately to highly toasted so they could get more of those nutty notes instead of the more common coffee or chocolate aromas we associate with barrique. It is aged for 22 months and the overall result is incredible.

The 2015 Paleo Rosso is powerful, dense and super-concentrated, with all of the richness of the vintage very much on display. The 2015 is going to need time in bottle to develop the full breadth of its aromatics. Today, it is dense, powerful and very closed. Even so, there is terrific persistence and follow through. All the 2015 needs is time to unwind.
100% Cabernet Franc. Around 20 – 25 days on the skins and aged for 14 months in barrique (70% new) followed by 18 months in bottle. 'We are always a year later than everyone else because we want to have at least a year in bottle. The wine is expensive and we want to honour our clients.' Deep crimson. Complex oak notes over a rich layer of dark fruit. Intense forest fruit palate with a salty minerally note on the finish and with long, grainy tannins. Ready now, but much more to come. (WS)
