  • Dark red. Blackcurrant on the nose. Really good Bordeaux blend - structured and energetisk. Smooth tannins- long- near the summit but can be stored for another 5-7 years .

  • Quest to complete my tasting of all DOCG of Italy; 6/5/2020-8/31/2020 (Home in NL and holiday home in Maremma / Italy): Dark ruby/red colour, almost black at the core. Full aromas of blackberry and cherry and a hint of raspberry, with some liquorice and smoke. And even a whiff of that enticing Tuscan West Coast eucalyptus when you give it some time in your glass. Medium-full bodied with chewy-smooth tannins a layer of fresh acidity that firmly leaves that Italia/Tuscan touch to it, and a solid core of fresh fruit. The finish is long and has a nice fruit/spice balance to it.

    This wine is still rather young and will probably develop some nice tertiary aroma’s over (a long) time. But I think it’s real quality is in the solid/fresh balance it provides now when it is still relatively young.
    Drink now - 2030.

    Initially I had this ‘oh no, not again this over-oaked stuff’ response. But after a few hours it gave a much more balanced and refined showing.
    It will probably benefit from some decanting if you want to enjoy soon after opening the bottle. I have entirely stopped decanting by now because it does more harm than good to most of my preferred wines (classic Italians). I rather take my time and let it evolve in the glass.
