Tenuta Sette Cieli Indaco 2018

The nose has primarily umami notes of leather, graphite and dark chocolate, but macerated black cherries and blackberries create a plush, succulent undertone. That undertone grows on the palate before the dark chocolate returns on the finish, but unrelenting tannins and heat provide balance throughout. Plenty of time for aging.

The 2018 Indaco is classy and polished to the core. Silky and beautifully persistent, the 2018 impresses with its energy and overall poise. Mocha, espresso, blackberry jam, licorice and lavender come together nicely in this understated offering from Sette Cieli. A touch of aeration releases the aromatics nicely.

Blackcurrants and hints of spearmint on the nose. Medium body, firm and silky tannins and a beautiful, fresh finish. Drink or hold.
