Renieri Regina di Renieri Shiraz Toscana IGT, Tuscany, Italy

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：4097

Regina is Renieri’s super Tuscan with a feminine soul. A pure expression of Syrah, the lush wine is soft, velvety and enduring in the mouth. Its momentum holds strong thanks to afternotes of berry fruit, leather and black pepper. ——M.L.(2/1/2012)—— 90

The 2007 Regina di Renieri is 100% Syrah that spent 24 months in French oak barrels. It is wonderfully sleek and beautiful, particularly in the silkiness of the tannins. The oak is a bit dominant and varietal character is pretty much absent, but the fruit is so striking one can only wonder what might develop with a more restrained hand in the winemaking. For now, the Regina remains a wine of promise. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017. Importer: Michelangelo Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 699-7021

This “queen” (regina) Syrah boasts aromas of cherry candy, blueberry pie, coffee, leather and smoked meat. You’ll pick up cherry cough drop, root beer and licorice midpalate: The mouthfeel is still a bit raw and needs two more years.——M.L.(4/1/2008)—— 91
