2/26/2012 - curtiy wrote: 92 pointsWow, a nose of sweet black cherry. A lot of sediment would recommend decanting. Menthol up front followed by cherry cordial mid-palate. About 8 second finish. Very soft tannins, if you have any left drink up. Had about 2 hours airtime before. Wish had bought more a few years ago, only purchased 1 at the time. |

2007 Marchesi de' Frescobaldi Tenuta di Castiglioni Toscana IGTSuperTuscan Blend more |
6/6/2010 - curtiy wrote: 92 pointsTasted against the 2008. Both had about 5 hours of airtime in the glass and drank over 2 days. The 2007 is far superior to the 2008. The airtime really let the nose blossom. Still feel this is drinking very well right now. No real change from previous notes. Has the structure that it should improve with cellaring, but it is really hard to not drink this wine now. |
