1997 Marchesi Mazzei Castello di Fonterutoli Siepi Toscana IGTSuperTuscan Blend more |
4/5/2008 - Marco68 wrote: 85 pointsFrom my private cellar acquired since the released on the market.It exhibits a garnet colour with brick rim.At the first sniffed the wine is immediately very forward with very mature cherry,spicy,liquirice with breath it reminds a Porto, with ripe fruits it seems to be older than a 1997.The sip is soft and powerful with a mature sour cherry well balanced,round and remarkable persistance.It's better in the mouth than at the nose, but take into consideration the vintage (1997 is considered a great vintage in Tuscany.......but I've some doubt)I've to say that this tasting of Siepi 1997 is disappointing.Drink up quickly because the wine is dying away!!!!! |

1998 Antinori TignanelloToscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend more |
2/26/2008 - Marco68 wrote: 87 pointsPopped and poured without decanting the wine displays a nice pale garnet colour.The first sniff boasts cherry,black cherry.black pepper,tobacco orange peeel and vanilla.It exhibits more elegance than power.In the mouth the tannins are smooth with ripe fruits in evidence, it lacks some complexity and roundness.A decent final but not a great vintage for Tignanello.It's ready to drink but it'll last some more years in the cellar. |

1995 Château Lynch-BagesPauillac Red Bordeaux Blend more |
2/3/2008 - Marco68 wrote: 91 pointsA nice vintage from this famous estate,just poured in the glass is very closed thus decanting is necessary it displays a deep ruby colour with youthful rim. The nose after breathing is complex with cassis,blueberry,black pepper,pencil lead,thyme(herbs),tobacco it improves in the glass constantly,complex wine.The entry is smooth with sour cherry very ripe,with full body, round, good definition and long final.Lynch Bages 1995 is very young yet thus it needs some more years of cellaring.It will certainly improve. |
