May 21, 2022 - Nose: red fruits, truffle
Notes: Had it with the Sandrone Cannubi Boschis 1985 which turned out to be a disaster. The Caparzo however was quite the delight. Developed very nicely after opening for 45 minutes, it's indeed very energetic with noticeable tannin in it still. Certainly the vintage played an important role as 1990 should be considered a ready and quality vintage. I am now curious about Caparzo's La Casa and its Riserva. This wine can be consumed now and shall continue to perform well for at least the next 10-12 years.

July 6, 2019 - Wow what a wine. This clearly shows the glory of sangiovese grosso on a perfectly stored example of this stunning estate from a stellar vintage.
Letter plum and a host of other flavors to include dried herbs and mince....this wine has it all. -
