Still a big wine, even after an hour of air ... give it even more time. Purple and inky, rich and well rounded. I'm going to leave the next 11 for a while ... and the magnums even longer.

Weekly tasting group RWP #235: Tuscany (@ BS): In the bouquet dark forest fruits, laurel, leather and chocolate. On the palate dark and red berries, vanilla and beautiful oaky flavors, juicy acidity and good tannin with still a good bite. Beautiful wine in its young maturity stage and with still a good future. 91 - 92+?

Lovely Supertuscan. Some cherry cola from the Sangiovese with an edge of black currant from the Cab. Medium tannins suggest wine is now fully ready. Drank well with roast beef and all the trimmings

Decanted for 2 hours brought to Christmas dinner and consumed 2 hours later. Layers of dark rich fruit with moderate acidity and a long finish. The wine continued to open over the following hour. A Tuscan beauty. Avvoltore is a blend of 75% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Syrah.
