White fruits, candy and flowers in the bouquet. Same on the palate, ok and soft acidity, some bitterness and some length. Not very complex, but certainly an ok wine.

2021 Bibi Graetz Colore Toscana IGT 94 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT
The grapes for this wine come from four 100 years old vineyards. The wine has a beautiful and complex bouquet and on the palate beautiful and juicy acidity and tannin and well dosed oak. Great length. Definitely a very beautiful wine but it probably needs more to show all of its finesse. For now 94+
