Vin de Corse Porto Vecchio: Domaine de Torraccia: Cuvee Oriu 2005
Description
“A rare ‘vin de garde’ from Corsica. This well-coloured red comes from the south of the island. Lovely dense fruit flavours with a slightly smoky, sweet-tobacco complexity.” Tom Stevenson – The New Sotherby’s Wine Encyclopedia
What others think of this wine...
Sarah McCleery in The Oxford Times says:The Cuvée Oriu Red 2005 is Torraccia’s top wine (£22.50 www.yapp.co.uk) and, unlike the previous red, it is composed solely of Niellucciu (80 per cent) and Sciccarellu (20 per cent). A little like the white, it has a fabulous mineral quality to the fruit and a vibrancy that is in short supply in so many red wines being imported today. Deliciously concentrated and spicy, it is a wine that I can guarantee will be awarded a slot in my 1.5m² wine cellar . . . when it is finally finished.
