Natalie's Score: 93/100

Vintages Wine Panel: This, the second wine to Frescobaldi’s iconic Luce, is a blend of Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon, matured for 12 months in French barriques.  Always a huge hit with Vintages customers, this wine offers intense strawberry, blueberry, and currant fruit accented by mocha and spice.  Built to last, it will show best after 2012; if you can’t wait, decant it and enjoy.  My note: Smoky espresso nose with black fruit and dark spices.  Good tannic grip.  Decant 2 hours.
