Calabria Private Bin Montepulciano 2016

While most of the Calabria Private Bin wines are just easy drinks, this has some substance to it – and for very few dollars.

Dark deep and inky purple. Great colour! So much plum fruit here, lots of deep plum and licorice flavour, with a little twist of anise for good measure. What a belter for the price! Offers a whole ocean of flavour, even if it’s a bit simple and skinny towards the back end. A stand out for the dollars. Best drinking: Go now to five years at least. 17/20, 90/100. 14.5%, $15. Would I buy it? Yes I would.
