Mormoreto Frescobaldi

Hi there,

does anyone have experience of this wine? I have a bt of the 1997, and all I know is that it is an IGT Toscana, Cabernet Sauvignon, and in an extremely heavy bottle!

Winsepctator note says Big, soft and rich. Loads of crushed berry, blackberry and cherry aromas follow through to a medium-bodied palate with soft tannins and a light dried herb finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2001.

Haven't had the 97. Did have the '93 last year, pretty decent wine, fully mature at the time, showing some Tuscan character beneath a Bordeaux-like exterior.

(prepare yourself for some opinionated pontification, with little basis in reality): Don't have any direct experience with this, but wouldn't be shocked (based on normal cab aging patterns and other '97 Tuscans) if this was a little closed right now. But I also wouldn't age for long time, as my opinion of 1997 is that it made a lot of glorious wines for drinking young, but most aren't long-agers, due to low-acidity.

I'd either drink in 2-3 years, or now with an hour or more decanting.

Obviously, if anyone has actually TASTED, their opinion would be actually valuable. :) Dale

thanks for that, Dale.

I think I shall go for the 'long breathing' option

After all, I'd far rather drink it too young than too late!!

I will let you know.
