Tenuta di Arceno
Il Fauno di Arcanum Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Blinded, I thought this was a Left Bank Bordeaux. I’m useless with Bordeaux blends. Felt Cab-dominated with the obvious pyrazine notes. Vintage-wise, I was going between 2015 and 2018, so not far off. Youth and ripeness were the clues. Wine-wise, not exactly what I like but I thought it was solid. Plummy fruit, herbs, wood, earth, and some underlying minerality.

A very light and smooth wine with a dark cherry taste. The smell is sweet but the taste is moderately dry. The after taste is a little bland which is why I didn’t rate this a 9. I would definitely buy again - a very good wine for the price.
