Campo Delle Piane Boca 1985 Wine review by (PB)
Brown hue on the rim yet with fresh bouquet of sweet cherry rising on what seemed like a classic Tuscan licorice, fresh grape, and a hint of pipe tobacco. This is however a Piedmont creation of Nebbiolo.Palate--Lively, with a touch of tartness on a ch...
