Parker Coonawara Estate Terra Rosa First Growth - 1988 (750ml) Monferrato 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20%

80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio

citrus is balanced with earthy flavors of mushroom

highly-nuanced finish that represents the essence of compellingly great wine

and spicy oak in the very long finish

and I was leaning toward giving it a three-digit score

Parker Coonawara Estate Terra Rosa First Growth - 1988 (750ml) Monferrato 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20%The 1996 Terra Rossa First Growth (1,500 cases made from a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon and 13% Merlot) reveals an opaque purple color, as well as a superb, expressive aromatic profile with the aforementioned scents, huge, fat, full bodied flavors that coat the palate, low acidity, sweet tannin, and a sensationally long finish. This spectacular Cabernet Sauvignon has few Australian rivals for richness and complexity. Robert Parker 93 points
