Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 26, 2018 - A blend of 75% Sangiovese, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet-Sauvignon. I happily agree with WineStrategies’ tasting note from 25 April 2017 on this one. A wonderfully fragrant, silky and feminine rendition of the Tignanello theme. There is a clear Burgundian elegance to this wine, but the flavours and the tannic structure firmly place this wine in Tuscany. Medium body, flowers, leather, red berries. Elegant, pure, stylish and eminently drinkable at this young age. Drink now - 2024. At Shima Steak, Nihonbashi, Tokyo, Japan.

On a separate note: 96 points from Vinous and 95 from Wine Enthusiast makes you question their palate and/or their integrity. 94 from Suckling is less of an exaggeration than is usual for him and (if I am being charitable) 93 from Parker and Wine Spectator reflects their buoyant, American character. But it’s a nice wine all the same.
