  • Subsequent notes on this wine from 5 years ago. Dark reddish-purple in color with no signs of aging. Full, forward & fragrant & nose of ripe fruit aromas of blackberries, cherries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, herbs, cocoa, spices, leather, tobacco, minerals & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, somewhat plush, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blackberries & mulberries with spices, herbs, minerals, cocoa & a touch of vanilla/oak. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing but at 17 years of age, it is close to its peak of development. Although it should hold for a few more years longer, I doubt any further development would occur. Ullage at mid-neck; cork was clean & intact.

  • Deep dark reddish-purple in color with no signs of aging despite being 12 years old. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of blackberries, cherries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & herbal notes, cocoa, spices, anise, olives, minerals & a hint of cedar in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with spices, herbs, minerals & a touch of cocoa. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & airing although it should continue to develop with a few mores years of further aging. Indicative blend: 70% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon & 5% Syrah.

  • I'd have to say this Super Tuscan (65% Sangiovese & 35% Cabernet Sauvignon) is likely in its prime and going to stay there for another 5 years at least. Medium body, well structured with medium + tannins and acidity. Nose of blueberry and blackberry with a cool mint, herbaceous undertone. Juicy, fruit dominated palate with a long chocolate mint finish.
