Baglio Di Pianetto 'Shymer' 2009
Producer: Baglio Di Pianetto
Country: Italy
Region: Sicily
Apellation: IGT
Grape Variety: blend of Syrah and Merlot
cracked open another sample after the disastrous La Scolca Pinot Nero. medium ruby, with interesting nose of herbal tinged sweet black fruit - perhaps a suggestion of unripeness? more swirling reveals notes of blackberry preserves, prune, raisin, cinnamon and nutmeg. the palate is thick and fruity, suggestion bouquets of violet and exotic spices, rounded of with smooth tannin and good acidity. medium length finishing with quite a warm alcoholic sensation.
overall a palatable experience given the bad experience 15 mintues earlier, with an unusual blend and a catchy name. this however makes me miss the power and finess of Australian Shiraz... but with the past whole week of sampling good wines, i won't complain more.
