<p>In 1995, Mormoreto appeared for the first time labelled as Toscana IGT. This cool vintage was considered inferior to the celebrated 1997 at the time, but in the long term it is definitely better. The very low average spring temperature provoked a late bud-burst, flowering and fruit-set. The summer was cool, rainy and humid. Only in September did the vintage reveal its promise, mostly for those able to wait for the late ripening varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. This Mormoreto is dense garnet in the glass and full of evolved smoky aromas, dried flowers and tobacco. It&#39;s leaner on the palate than the later vintages and with just 12.5% alcohol. It has cherry and rhubarb flavours with some black pepper spiciness and curry hints, The body is still firm and, despite well-evolved tannins, it&#39;s still biting on the finish. A classic.</p>
