Faro Palari 2004

Well-balanced and complex, this wine comes from a very positive, indeed almost classic vintage. It has a deep garnet colour with evident ruby highlights. Its perfumes are broad yet intense, with the alcohol barely perceptible. There are spicy and smoky notes, as well as hints of blackcurrants, yellow peaches, sour cherries and cocoa, thus creating a really very interesting spectrum of sensations on the nose. The flavour is frank and still youthful, with a few rough acidulous/tannic edges. It has excellent, still slightly coarse fruit, but this unfolds on the middle palate to yield a long, substantial finish which gives hope for good potential for evolution in the bottle.
