, Gary Vaynerchuk
Super Tuscan Wines, Episode #701 (7/9/2009)
Super Tuscan - Italy. #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-wow, very green and vegetal (celery & brussel sprouts); green leaf; lawn; PALATE-this wine is baffling me; there's so much green spinach that it's hiding how oaked it is; just an insane brouhaha ha that make me both hate and love this, but leaning toward the hate due to the over-oaking; weird; AG-92; WN-95; GV-86 86 points |

Super Tuscan Wines, Episode #701 (7/9/2009)
Super Tuscan - Italy. #1; COLOR-dark; NOSE-some plum action, but pretty tight; classic rustic copper Sangio; good bright red fruit (strawberry jam); PALATE-has really nice firm tannins; this wine is a baby; can cellar for 7-15 years easy, but is quite silky smooth considering how young it is; and the red fruit is very bright (strawberries and cherries); very nicely balanced and well made; I'm really impressed with this; really good structure; there are not many $38 wines that are as good as this; WS-93; GV-92 92 points |

Super Tuscan Wines, Episode #701 (7/9/2009)
Super Tuscan - Italy. #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-dark; NOSE-a little radish; quite floral (lilac & panzees); black currant; some creaminess (vanilla / mocha) on the back-end; PALATE-more of a New World play (more like a Napa Cab or Spanish Priorat); more creaminess; more Oak characteristics coming through (egg nog and wood); nice cinnamon aspect; big and meaty wine; licorice on the back-end; undeniable vanilla/mocha with red fruit (strawberries); it's structured and well made, but a little too New World for me; I like it, but it's not changing my life; AG-94; GV-89+ 89+ points |
