LE MACCHIOLE 2004 "PALEO" (100% CABERNET FRANC) - BOLGHERI, TOSCANA - 750ML

94 POINTS ROBERT PARKER & 94 POINTS WINE SPECTATOR:
The 2004 Paleo (Cabernet Franc) is an intense, brooding wine imbued with the essence of dark fruit, scorched earth, grilled herbs, toasted oak and licorice. Made in a rich, super-concentrated style, this imposing Paleo will require patience. A second bottle took quite a bit of aeration before the elegance of its silky-textured tannins emerged. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2020. 

Intense aromas of blackberry, rose and rosemary follow through to a full-bodied palate, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. Super silky and caressing. A gorgeous wine. Cabernet Franc.
