Torre Mora - Cauru Etna Rossi

Post image

30 minutes in the decanter gave off redcurrant and cherry on the nose.

Bright, translucent garnet in the glass, the rim barely discernible. The first sip is all edge: sharp cherry, a snap of cranberry acidity. Tannins are fine-grained yet surprisingly insistent for a light red.

Cauru feels like a mountain wine,more flowing stream than velvet armchair. It scores high on clarity and freshness, but offers little in the way of depth or warmth. Bracing rather than comforting, it keeps you upright instead of pulling you close.

With another ten minutes in the glass it softens, the acidity tempered, the finish rounding into something crisper and more harmonious. For me, that lands at 88 points.
