| Community Tasting Notes (average 94.1 pts. and median of 94 pts. in 42 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AudunG on 10/29/2023 & rated 94 points: Hefty Sangiovese aromas with some oak. Elegant, pure and delicate, almost airy, with plenty of fine tannins. Needs more time. (1090 views) | | | Tasted by dream on 8/23/2023 & rated 94 points: Beautiful wine but it needed tons of air (4+ hours in a decanter) for the potent acidity to soften a bit. The fruit is bluish and gorgeous and the wine is very fine and silky and has a long way to go to reach maturity. Really classy wine that's best with food. 94+ (1275 views) | | | Tasted by Cath9000@gmail.com on 6/5/2023: Consumed (1449 views) | | | Tasted by DK Amateur on 5/17/2023: This was opened and decanted to follow the 2007. Perhaps that wasn't a good idea. It started out a little too cold and came across as rather acidic and insufficiently open and mature. With more time and higher temperature it became better but it is still early days, and the 2007 is clearly better now. (1506 views) | | | Tasted by NoTrollingerPlease on 4/15/2023 & rated 94 points: Pergole Torte Vertical tasting (Freiheit Vinothek, Ulm, Germany): Glass: Zalto Universal and Burgundy
Tasted blind.
Clear, youthful deep ruby color. Fine, ethereal, herbaceous and a bit green nose.
Very fresh and tight. High acidity, high, ripe tannin. Very phenolic, great structure and elegance. Still very compact and dense. Needs 5+ years to unfold. Will be great for sure. 94++ (1830 views) | | | Tasted by bbq_grandcru on 9/16/2022 & rated 94 points: 1-2 hour decant significantly helped this round out and gain balance. Tannins are resolved and provide soft structure. Full body and nice weight, despite the deceptively low (and welcome!) 13.5% ABV. Big bold dark fruits in nice harmony with a dusty character. Very nice finish. This seems to be just entering a wonderful drinking window with many great years ahead. (1875 views) | | | Tasted by t_moderne on 9/11/2022 & rated 95 points: Opened and popured into a decanter. tasted and enjoyed using a Riedel Burgundy glass. Enjoyed with food (spaghettis with meatballs - Sunday gravy - and fried eggplant, in case you were wondering).
Garnet color.
Nose offers black raspberries and hint of red clay. A nice floral note as well as some mushroom/earth notes.
Delicious ripe black raspberries and some cherry notes. Elegant and graceful, with the dark berries and floral notes singing in harmony.
Nice acidity to keep one going back for another sip.
Outstanding.
Quality cork; branded with wine and vintage. (1657 views) | | | Tasted by Édifice on 9/10/2022 & rated 96 points: Fantastic nose of ripe forest berries, sophisticated liquor, vanilla and mint, undergrowth, fresh cherries. Wonderful bouquet, incredibly balanced, subtle sweetness, ripe berries with a fresh touch, lush, full and structured, leading to a long, elegant finish. This is one of the very best Sangiovese I’ve ever had, a perfect combination of freshness, sweetness, structure, aroma. (1333 views) | | | Tasted by t_moderne on 5/14/2022 & rated 95 points: Opened, poured into a decanter, tasted, and then enjoyed with food over three hours. Used a Grassl Cru glass. (Food was NY strip steak with cauliflower spinach puree, in case you're wondering.)
Ruby color.
Nose of cherry candy, flowers and dried orange peel.
Lovely bouquet.
List and elegant. Dances across the palate. Has fresh acidity.
So inviting.
Delicious.
Saved a small amount in the bottle and tasted the following day.
A graceful and elegant wine with panoply of flavor. (1629 views) | | | Tasted by ILarsen on 11/5/2021 & rated 92 points: An amazing nose that gave you great hopes for a superb wine - but when we tasted the wine we clearly got disappointed - in the beginning we did not get a lot of fruit but that clearly changed and we god raspberries, cranberries and unripped strawberries. The wine seems to be in a closed phase - but we still clearly se a lot of potential - medium plus tannins and acidity - good balance - we will start the rating with 92 - and we recommend to wait a bit before drinking this wine. (2293 views) | | | Tasted by JJYoyo on 5/26/2021 & rated 94 points: Doing this from memory so fewer detailed notes - and that is a shame because this is a beauty. Very little air time due to circumstances but even as coiled and tight as this was, it was still showing greatness. Abundant sour cherry, a solid acidic line, something like leather on the nose, burnt stalkiness. Exuded class and refinement right out of the gate. Right now needs a fair amount of air to show. Probably requires a few more years of sleep.
Score : 94-96. Relative to expectations : ++ (2464 views) | | | Tasted by Édifice on 5/15/2021 & rated 95 points: Subtle, stylish bouquet of raspberries, cherry candy, minerals. Weightless but intense palate, fresh cherries, more candies, subtle spices and minerals, refreshing acidity counterbalanced by light sweetness. Quite a long finish. There is something transparent, ethereal, similar to a Burgundy or an elegant Grenache. First night still a bit closed, second night more open. Requires another 4-5 years. The 2011 is more open for business at this stage. (2289 views) | | | Tasted by Outplaying on 3/1/2021: Same bottle and impressions as Bob. More fruity than I expected and still fairly unevolved. Soft tannin. I enjoyed the nose and found it more interesting than on the palate at this point. I'd hold this for now. (2689 views) | | | Tasted by Bob H on 2/28/2021: Opened for dinner later today. Sweet & sour cherry fruit on a laser-focused nose.
That sweet & sour red fruit note carries through on the palate as well. I was a little concerned this might be too young, and it is still fairly primary, but the fruit here is pretty delicious, so this should be fine. (2490 views) | | | Tasted by fcs@macsimsllc.com on 10/3/2020 & rated 98 points: Set the bottle out at room temp at 3pm. Opened the bottle at 5pm. Poured into a decanter at 6:30pm. Served with dinner at 7:15pm.
The nose was beautiful with fruit, leather, herbs and minerals. Cherry and berries on the palate as a first impression with slight acidity. Tannin appeared to be fully integrated and as the wine rolled on the palate it became silky smooth. The finish was substantial and long.
This wine was perfect with our Veal Rib chops done medium rare, roasted mushrooms and herb enhanced baby potatoes.
This wine appeared to be at it fullest right now. Next time I think I will decant less and see if it shows longer staying power! (2777 views) | | | Tasted by WhiskySomm on 12/19/2019 & rated 95 points: On first opening the bottle intense aromatics of sour cherry, red fruits, savory herbs and a dusty mineral tone. Two hours of decanting and consumed slowly over another three hours. Already in an excellent place this wine was still very primary and fruit forward with a touch of secondary characteristics, and the structure to potentially improve a point or two with additional cellar time. Floral, fruit, savory herbs, leather, stony minerality, complex and hitting on every level. Ripe red cherry, candied cherry almost like cherry Starburst on the nose, black cherry, sour cherry, strawberry, raspberry, ripe tomato, basil, leather, tobacco, baking spice. High acid and highly tannic, but exceptionally well integrated and silky. Continues to be one of the finest examples of Sangiovese. (3247 views) | | | Tasted by atbarbar on 8/22/2018 flawed bottle: Bottle completely corked. What a disgrace. (1741 views) | | | Tasted by Gian on 12/7/2017 & rated 88 points: Pop and poured, too young and not enough time to open up. Lot of acidity , does need another 5 years or at least a lot of air (6007 views) | | | Tasted by JustinHandlin87 on 9/26/2016 & rated 93 points: Medium ruby, lots of depth on the nose with red fruits, floral, herbs, dirt. The bright cherries full of fresh acidity on the palate lead to a hidden power behind the very fine tannins. Delicious (7565 views) | | | Tasted by fokker on 9/3/2016 & rated 91 points: To me, red wine goes better with vegetables than white ones. So for my Busiata with spring onions, cherry tomatoes, zucchini, eggplants and capers, I opened this 10 Pergole Torte. Decanted for one hour before serving.
Very nice see-through redish-blue colour. Nose and palate of red cherries and raspberries with some sage, still quite primary though. Nice breadth to reach all corners of the mouth. Fruity finish. Many more points in years to come. (6989 views) | | | Tasted by Collector1855 on 7/3/2016 & rated 94 points: Medium-light garnet. Expressive nose of sour cherry, sweet spices, clay, flowers. Medium-light and elegant on the palate with present acidity and soft tannins. You can see the nand writing of Giulio Gambelli, Tuscani's legendary oenologist. This is very classic Sangiovese in style, an iconic wine of Chinati, ground zero fo the Chianti quality revolution. Nice, can add a point with age. Drink after 2018. Very good QPR too. (7190 views) | | | Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 10/20/2015 & rated 94 points: A week in Tuscany (and Lots of wines); 10/19/2015-10/21/2015 (Tuscany, Italy): At Osteria Le Logge in Sienna. Great food. 125 Euros off the list. This is young, but we had time, and let this air for a while. It did open and by the end of the bottle, was showing very well. I think there is still room to improve by a point or two. Ruby/purple in color. The nose is cherries, raspberries, dark cherries and sandalwood. Great texture. Silky yet powerful. Deep and tightly complex. Long finish. The last glass is the best. Wait ten years. If you go to this restaurant, ask for a tour of the cellars. Across and under the street. Very cool! (6449 views) | | | Tasted by yossarian.livez on 7/26/2015 & rated 93 points: L.A.W. Tasting: Brunello, Barolo, Super Tuscan, and Bordeaux (LA Hutchinson Cocktail and Grill): Nose of floral and red fruit with a bit of tar and underbrush. Pure palate of cherry fruit. Some of the intensity has fallen off and this has become a much more graceful wine. Excellent acid. Perhaps a little less delineated, but even a bit off its game and it's still tremendous. (6146 views) | | | Tasted by galewskj on 5/18/2015 & rated 91 points: This had a nice full-bodied flavor. Good raspberry flavor, tannins were at a nice level. I've had chianti that's just as good for 1/4 the price, but this was also good. (4111 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 5/16/2015 & rated 91 points: Dark red color. Drank 1 glass over 15 minutes. This was very good, earthy, black raspberry, anise on the nose. The palate shows kirsch, licorice, raspberry liqueur, medium full body, fine tannins, spice.

| SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytToscana IGTHere is the Wikipedia entry for Toscana wine. |
