2009 Il Fauno is here

In stock at Forsyth.  We sold over 50 cases of the 2008, the 2009 just arrived!  Could it be better?





2009 Tenuta di Arceno Il Fauno di Arcanum...$26.99
2009 has not been scored yet, but 2009 is actually a much better vintage as a whole in Tuscany over the 2008

Here is the press on the 2008 that you all loved....
A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Sangiovese and Petit Verdot, the 2008 Il Fauno di Arcanum opens with an inky dark color and perfectly ripe aromas of plump cherry and blackberry. Beyond the enticing fruit aromas is a long list of spice and tobacco-related characteristics. This is a thickly layered and opulent Tuscan blend that is enhanced by territory-driven aromas of grilled herb and rosemary oil. The best part for me, however, is the soft richness this wine delivers in the mouth. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2027.
Rated 94/100 The Wine Advocate
