A new addition to the Place de Bordeaux this year from Castello di Fonterutoli, a single-varietal Cabernet Sauvignon dedicated to Philip Mazzei, an illustrious ancestor of the family and American patriot. It has tobacco, smoked black cherries and dried herbs on the nose. Intense and seering dark berry fruit, high acidity is noticeable straight away filling the mouth with juice but the tannins also come into play with a touch of velvet texture coating the tongue and cheeks. It's still hiding a bit, just showing some signs of life but quite knitted down for the moment. Tightly, brimming with underlying energy but controlled at the moment. Nice depth and clarity with a long lingering finish.
