The 2001 Il Bosco, one of the few high level examples of Syrah in Italy, is a brilliant dark ruby in color with a nose of blueberries and blackberry liqueur on the nose, and much vanilla and sandalwood in its intense, penetrating aromatics. Sweet and round on the palate, its solid texture and depth are balanced by a richness of extract and a silky mouthfeel which are particularly felt on the lengthy, resonant finish.
