  fruit forward, lots of red cherry, rasberry, cola, and some dusty notes. some black tea near the finish, not much depth but nice bright fruit. medium high acidity, very good easy drinker, well put together. medium tannins. drink or hold

  Impromptu afternoon at ESBK. Pop and poured. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
  Appearance is clear, deep intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
  Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark red plum, red cherries, polished black cherries, dark hummus earth and Tuscan dust, black tar, dark toast oak. Developing.
  On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), grippy high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red plum, sour cherries, polished black cherriers, dark tarry earth, dark minerals, toasty oak. Long finish.
  Very good quality. I was guessing a somewhat modern 2016 Brunello. Turns out to be this 100% Tuscan Sangiovese IGT. Needs more time for the oak and tannin to integrate.

  Delicious, sour cherry, medium finish but with a slight decant it works great with cioppino.
