2010 Tenimenti Luigi d'Alessandro Manzano Syrah Cortona Il Bosco

D'Alessandro's 2010 Syrah il Bosco presents compelling varietal nuances with distinctly Tuscan accents, all in an exotic, mid-weight style full of allure. Lavender, violets, mint and sweet spices meld into a core of expressive dark red stone fruits as this beguiling beauty opens up over time. Iron and rose petal are but a few of the nuances that develop in a striking Syrah bursting at the seams with true character. There is much to admire here. The 2010 is a great Bosco.
