Mocali’s beautiful riserva opens with an inky dark appearance, thick concentration and savory aromas of leather and spice that add one more layer of complexity to an already very enticing wine. At the core, it is redolent of dark fruit and cherry, and the mouthfeel is thick and luscious. The richness of the color is beautiful as is the suppleness of the wine’s texture. Hold 10 years. — (5/1/2013) —96
