2005 Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti) Saffredi Toscana IGT
3/30/2024 - lifebreath wrote: 94 Points
Two more stellar bottles, one remains. Deep purple with no signs of bricking. Blackberry and blueberry on the nose. Blackberries and cream, dark cherry, gooseberry, and black currant on the palate with silky but assertive tannins and oak spice on the backend. I’ve had this cellared since 2017, and it’s at its peak now. No sign of giving up the ghost yet, but I’d say drink now for maximum enjoyment!

2009 E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'Ampuis

Very solid Côte-Rôtie! Perfect pop and pour with development in the glass. Somewhat ripe fruit-forward style but not overly so, with solid core of acidity and moderate well-integrated tannins. Lovely earthy nose, beautiful dark ruby color. Not as much spice as I expect from northern Rhône, but sufficient. Three superb bottles consumed with friends with steak dinner.

Similar notes to previously. Dried apricot, ripe pineapple, sweet ripe green apple, and exotic spice like Chinese 5-spice blend.
