  April 24, 2021 - Decanted 3 hrs. Dense blackish red, browning edges. Nice robes. Large bq w cedarwood, oak, sweet black cherry fruit, christmas spices, touch of white pepper, touch of stone dust. Full body w sanded tannins, excellent acidity, still plenty of black cherry fruit. Nicely balanced, very harmonious and integrated tastes, long balanced aftertaste. Fully mature, will easily last some more years. Very good!

  June 14, 2015 - - Medium forming legs. It's in total harmony with a medium/full body. Narrow texture with a long finish - Rustik och fruktig. Bra struktur och lang eftersmak, imponerande. Duktigt Italiensk.

  January 6, 2014 - As Graham Chapman (of Monty Python, RIP) put it: You can't beat wood. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gwXJsWHupg
  Seems to me like Grahams feeling about wood took large parts of Tuscany in a stronghold in the 90s and early 2000s. This wine is a prime example. There is, at nine years of age, still quite a lot of wood here ... But since this is Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, I think the wood has it's place here. The oak contributes with pipe tobacco, some oriental spice and maybe even a tad of milky chocolate. I don't know if the elephant cage/cat pee touch is oak or the grapes, but it's there and give a certain nuance to the fruit which is still going very strong. A mix of cassis, plum and tuscan cherries are touched by Sage and Rosemary. Acidity is Italian and magnificent, and yes, there is a touch of the typical Tuscany gravel road and a touch of Coke to it. With a chunk of Parmigiano, this is really good. Bordeaux made in Tuscany - with some extra syrah power. I think this is in a nice drinking window now, but it won't go over the hill in the next couple of years either. Given my growing hostility to oak, I'm surprised I liked this so much. 91-92.
