4/20/2024 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 94 points

Deep, dark reddish-purple, essentially opaque in color. Nose was initially reticent but eventually developing with airing into a full, forward & aromatic nose of ripe fruit aromas of dark cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of floral notes of roses & earthy/dusty, cocoa, coffee grounds, dried herbs, some mint & anise, olives, minerals & spice notes of cloves with some vanilla/toasty oak notes in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of sour cherries, blackberries & dark plums with cocoa, coffee, spices, herbs, minerals & a hint of vanilla/toasty oak. Long lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but should develop further with additional aging at which time it may merit a higher score (95+).

Man this was smoking good.

I initially gave this a 2 hour decant. That wasn't enough. But by hour 3, and with a little time in the glass, this really started to hit its stride.

Really beautiful on the nose and palate with tons of red and black currants, ripe dark plums, black cherry, and smoke.

This is crunchy and savory all at once. I really enjoyed the acidity of the wine, which is just right, and gives this a long, puckery, and mouth watering finish.

Compared to a 2018 Fontodi Vigna del Sorbo that I recently enjoyed and look forward to having again, I'd totally give this the nod over that. And that's saying something. The Fontodi is an excellent wine. But dollars to donuts, this is a heavenly wine that costs significantly less.

This is a well made wine. Colour was a deep red(no browning). Definitely had more earthy notes at this age. Not my style but a good wine

Strong focus on the fruit, which was a bit one-dimensional, but I have the feeling that this wine was a bit too young, so no rating.

Decent easy drinking Chianti. Quite straight forward and unlikely to improve too much with bottle ageing.

Impromptu afternoon at ESBK. Pop and poured. Tasted blind. Drank in Grassl Cru.
Appearance is clear, deep intensity, purplish ruby colour. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium+ intensity, with aromas of dark red plum, red cherries, polished black cherries, dark hummus earth and Tuscan dust, black tar, dark toast oak. Developing.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium+ alcohol (13.5%), grippy high tannins, full body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red plum, sour cherries, polished black cherriers, dark tarry earth, dark minerals, toasty oak. Long finish.
Very good quality. I was guessing a somewhat modern 2016 Brunello. Turns out to be this 100% Tuscan Sangiovese IGT. Needs more time for the oak and tannin to integrate.

Intensivt och elegant kraftpaket av rang. Har många, långa år framför sig av raffinerad njutning! Har helt klart potential att nå 💯.

Sommelieren gissade "100% CF och kanske Paleo". Säger en hel del om hur bra detta är. Förra gången vi tog med detta vin köpte kocken in två flaskor privat. Vi har nu ytterligare två flaskor på väg hem...

Improved since last bottle. However more bottle time will help. Decanted 2 hours. Lots of fruit. Dark red fruit, cherries, Spice. Good balance, acid and grip. Medium to long finish.

Decent bottle, but an off year, from what I read about this wine in better ones. Was a bit short on fruit. $40 from Garagiste as a mystery bottle.

If you come across it, don’t miss it. Into its 28 th year and all there, gorgeous fruit, some sweet-but-salt tertiary excitement, structure and generosity in synch

I may explore other available vintages because this would be a ridiculous value.

Sour cherry with some tobacco and coffee notes. As others have mentioned this has some serious acidity which goes beyond just brightening things up to being a defining characteristic. A bit too much imho but still a nice wine. Given this, don’t see why this won’t last a while longer.
