DRG Daryl Groom Barossa Shiraz (Magnum) 2023 vs Tenuta Sette Ponti, Oreno Toscana 2019

Tenuta Sette Ponti, Oreno Toscana 2019

Ripe red fruits elegantly married with toasted coffee, dark chocolate and pencil shavings aromas. Elegant tannins with a nice, supple feel on the palate with hints of leather and tobacco on the finish. All the hallmarks of a great SuperTuscan! The Oreno was released in 1999, thanks to Dr. Antonio Moretti Cuseri, a great wine lover, who, during his frequent travels, was struck by the elegance and finesse of Bordeaux grape varieties - so much that he decided to plant these varieties on the estate. The name, in fact, comes from a stream which crosses the estate, just in the area rich of clay where the Merlot vines grow; while in the soils with a greater presence of pebbles, which ensure a perfect drainage and perform a self-regulating function of temperature and humidity, Cabernet Sauvignon finds its natural collocation. The perfect complement to the blend is Petit Verdot, traditionally used as a carrier of spicy notes and intensity of flavour. The result is a wine inspired by the Bordeaux style but with a strong Tuscan imprint.
