Escorihuel Gascon Sangiovese 2008, fine and delicate but not competitive


Esorihuela Gascon Sangiovese 2008, By Bodega Escorihuela Gascon, USD 15

(probably 1887 Reserve overseas). Nice Sangiovese from Agrelo distric of LDC Dpt in central Mendoza. Soft and delicate with seet envelope and smooth tannins. Not very close to Tuscan brothers spreading tannic acidity and stronger fruits. Good and likable but better if blended. Wonder if more concentration brings more beauty.
An 84 points red overpriced and not a shadow of a balanced Italian Sangiovese. I´ve tried previous vintages far better.
