2010 Marchesi Mazzei Poggio alla Badiola Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend (view label images)

4/12/2013 - LyleBush Does not like this wine:

78 points

I bought 3 of these bottles based on the 92 rating (WS?). It's not a very pleasant wine to drink - acidity and fruitiness are (for me) almost overwhelming. Based on this experience, I may skip the Super Tuscan experience.

Both my husband and myself liked this blend. It's a nice smooth daily with an aftertaste that makes you want to have another drink. Good wine for the price.

We opened the bottle and gave the wine some air in a carafe for 2 hours. The aroma was very promising - blackberry, some tobacco and citrus. The taste was not too pleasant though and I found myself almost dreading the finish. Maybe it was the acidity and / or citris flavors that I didn't like, I'm still not sure.

This is a good drink now cab. A nice blend of fruit and spice that leaves you looking forward to the next mouthful. Very good value.

More fruity than expected with after taste of tobacco. Had the wine in a carafe for approximately 90 minutes prior to tasting. Beautiful color, lovely aroma with apple scent and oak.

Aroma was mild cherry and spice; palate was pepper, oak and some fruit; for price ($19), there are better values.
