Can't score because once again, did not take notes. Drank over at Jane's and paired with a beautiful London Broil on the grill. I remember it having a charred or smoke bouquet, integrated smooth dark fruit with a nice backbone. Finish was medium. It was good.

Served to me blind and on the cold side I thought this had to be a Rhone. It had a bit of horsey funk and some anise flavors. Once it warmed up it started to taste more like an Italian wine with dark fruit, spices and a nice finish. It was balanced and could probably short-term age (less than two years). $25 on release.

(Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo Toscana IGT) Nice, subtle blackberry nose; great fruity entry, blackberries, major tannins (90% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot; 1 year in French barrique)

this is outstanding given the price point. not in the same league as a sass or ornellaia but representative of a good supertuscan.
