TN: 1996 Le Macchiole Paleo Rosso

1996 Le Macchiole Paleo Ross - this red Bordeaux blend from Tuscany is 85% cab sauv, 5% cab franc and 10% sangiovese. (they switched a few years later to 100% cab franc). The wine was fairly dark and showed a nose of dark cherry with hints of cedar, and a smooth mouth feel with medium long finish. Very decent. Wish I’d had a bottle of the later version with no sangio just to compare.

2001 was the first vintage of 100% cabernet franc. I enjoy them a lot
