Wine name: Lacryma Christi.
Producer: Poggio delle Boccanti Azienda Agricola La Mura Sas di R. & G. S. Antonio Abate NA.
Vintage: 2006.
Appearance deep browny dirty red, very smooth on the glass with an interesting (for a red) undertone of honey. Also cherries, blackcurrants and carbon aromatics.
The attack is very juicy, really mouth-watering from the start and with loads of chewitts-type fruitiness.
Evolution: Loads of cherries, red fruits, and concentrated apple juice with a finish which is a finish of Norfolk Punch (does that still exist?!) and cherries.
Sweetness: 1. Acidity: 3.5. Tannin: 0.5 with a texture which is buffered soft water and the length is excellent.
As for balance, it's beautiful – it's quite high acidity but this is offset really nicely by fruit and a touch of sweetness. The wine has a cork closure and is 13% abv. Overall, this wine is excellent, I really like this wine – you can almost taste the volcano ash in the bottle!. My score (which is NOT the same as Robert Parker's!) is 94 points.
