The 2008 Teodoro is Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Sweet red cherries, flowers, licorice and new leather are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. Deceptively medium in body, the wine fleshes out beautifully on the mid-palate and finish. Firm yet well-integrated tannins frame the exquisite finish. Nothing is out of place in this harmonious, impeccably balanced wine. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2023.
