2001 Arnaldo Caprai Sagrantino di Montefalco 25 Anni

First released in 1993 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the estate, 25 Anni is Arnaldo Caprai's flagship wine and most recognisable bottling. It has an enticing aroma of spicy dried fruits and tobacco, with cedar, damp earth and a hint of bonfire smoke. In the mouth it's delightfully mature, with fragrant potpourri and sticky red and black fruits. The tannins have integrated nicely, leaving a subtle structure that supports the still-fleshy fruit. The mid-palate features touches of tobacco, chocolate, spicy cedar, some meaty notes and a waft of smoke, leading to a soft, long finish. Incredibly elegant, and still with youthful freshness.
