five-spice powder and lavender pastille flavors given lift and spine by a core of juicy acidity

If this can add even more depth than I am projecting my predicted score will seem to be overly conservative

is an expressive wine graced with dark cherries

dark cocoa

Here too the admirably pure aromas are distinctly cool with its ripe nose of white peach and essence of pear that is trimmed in notes of subtle wood

Propieta Sperino, Lessona Size:6x750ml five-spice powder and lavender pastille2008 was a cold and difficult vintage, but the wine, first tasted in 2013, is holding up well and shows no astringency. The colour is scarcely evolved and the nose is surprisingly lush, showing bright and juicy cherry fruit. The palate has more weight than Uvaggio but it's supported by good acidity that gives persistence and a finish that's elegant and silky.
