Domaine Comte Abbatucci - Ajaccio Rouge Cuvee Faustine Vieilles Vignes Corsica 2011 (750ml)
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
"Abbatucci?s 2011 Ajaccio Faustine ? a roughly 70-30 blend of Sciacarellu and Niellucciu ? intensely delivers a wealth of floral and herbal notes (especially marjoram and thyme) both in the nose and on a vibrant buoyant silken-textured palate. Ripe cherry and strawberry serve for a juicy fundament while black pepper smoky black tea iodine and mineral salts lend saliva-inducement and pungent invigoration to an exhilarating and mouthwatering finish. I expect this to remain impressive through at least 2018."
