2021 Kellerei Cantina Andrian Lagrein Rubeno

The 2021 Lagrein Rubeno is impenetrably dark and purple-toned in the glass, wafting up with an earthy mix of black currants, brown spice and tobacco. This washes across the palate with ease, juicy and pliant, displaying violet-tinged red berries and minerals that collect toward the close. It tapers off with admirable length and lightly tannic, resonating on a vivid note of salted licorice.
