Tasting notes
At twenty years of age, the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione De Marchi impresses for its youth, power and virile personality. Huge, imposing tannins support the fruit in a big, powerful wine. Dark red cherries, flowers, sage, rosemary and licorice emerge over time. The 1993 is rich and intense, yet remains a bit burly and rough around the edges. Hints of Sangiovese linger on the finish. Warm weather caused and early flowering and may have contributed to the wine’s slightly rustic character.
