2005 Poggio Bonelli Poggiassai Toscana IGTSangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
12/26/2012 - sahlsmith Likes this wine: 97 pointsDeep rich color. Cigar box and tar on the nose. Dark red fruit on the mid-palate. And a pleasant acid finish that complimented the penne pasta and spicy sausage. Tannins were ample, but under control and will seerve to keep the fruit in this wine for several more years |

1999 Château du TertreMargaux Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/21/2010 - sahlsmith wrote: 91 pointsTasted at the winery with a cheese course (protein helps, but this wine doesn't need it); it has come into it's own. Brownish color, dark fruit with a heavy terrior Bordeaux nose. Good structure with ample round tannins. The mid-palate showed strong black fruit and the finish has enough spice to keep the palate interested in the next sip. |
