  Six years after the suggested RIP date for the Poggio Ai Ginepri, please know that its demise is premature. The 2007, opened thirteen years after harvest, is an earthy delight. You can smell the age and the earth in every whiff. Its slight brick hue of course indicates an aged wine. Slight acidity at this age of the wine. While some here have stated the Syrah overpowers the dominant Cabernet, I would disagree with this particular bottle. This wine's typicity is spot on -- it smells and tastes like a Tuscan wine. At a suggested SRP of $12, I would say wow! All that said, this wine is on its way out, and I would nit be surprised to find my bottle out of steam in the next 24 hours. But, if, perchance, you have some of this left, drink up.

  Relatively opaque maroon color. Nose of black fruit, warm earth, and roasting tomatoes. A soft, voluptuous entry presages a palate of black fruit with the Syrah providing spicy bass notes. The wine seems to be made in a very "modern" style but retains an earthiness and minerality on the finish that brings old Italy to the fore.

  Really enjoyed this bottle drunk from Friday with still some left today. Seems to have softened slighty with less of that harsh edge which is still there but toned down. Lovely warm spicy palate with much better balance of fruits. Provided a nice match to herb stuffed lamb cutlets

  Still not really well balanced.....very dark fruits to the fore and quite a harsh palate. Seems that this is too spicy and the Syrah is preventing any of the other fruits to come forward. Will leave the other bottles a few years.
