Raspberry preserves and sweet autumnal spices offset by dried citrus peels and incense form a seductive display on the 2017 Cannonau di Sardegna Riserva. This is silky-smooth and polished in feel, gaining tension through mineral-tinged tart black fruits and savory herbal notes. It's youthfully structured and poised, yet with enough primary concentration and balancing acidity to reward medium-term cellaring. This dark beauty will need a few more years to fully come together, but it will surely be worth the wait.
