July 15, 2023 - Clear deep garnet; clean medium nose of horse leather, dust, dried plums/figs and iodine; dry; high acidity; medium plus tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of cocoa; long finish; drinking really well now and close to “peak development” for my palate; still has great acidity and tannins to keep going; a powerhouse - paired well with dry aged striploins; a little more muted than our first bottle
June 3, 2023 - Sensual, with pronounced fruit sweetness and a savoury edge. Prune, tobacco, sage. Bordelais grapes, but does not taste like Bordeaux. Neither is it easily recognisable as Tuscan which the best editions are. Perfect for a barbecue or if you like big wines. Does not match the 1999, 2001, or 2004.
March 1, 2023 - This has matured into an excellent wine. It has the most amazing nose I have ever experienced in a wine. Drink now-2025.
October 15, 2022 - Clear deep garnet; clean medium plus nose of balsamic, cassis, cocoa, savoury herbs, cigar box and barnyard; dry; high acidity; high tannins; high alcohol; medium plus body; pronounced flavour intensity; palate is tarter with addition of tar and pronounced cocoa; long finish; drink now or in a few years; awesome wine - great value
May 7, 2022 - Bdx feeling with an italian sweetness. Very good right now with tobacco and sweet black fruit but with a elegant freshness.
June 7, 2021 - enjoyable; a slight tannin after taste
May 21, 2021 - Deep ruby.
Blackberries, black cherries, damsons, cinnamon nose & palate.
Medium/full bodied. Well integrated tannins.
I found this more enjoyable than in January 2020.
Drinking well and should have 4/5 years of life.
April 25, 2021 - Bon producteur, j'aime bien ce Toscan. Plein, il possède des notes goudronnées et de mûres. 91 sur 100.
January 24, 2021 - Nase dunkelbeerig und Kräuter, mittlerer Körper, schöne Struktur und gute Länge. Tannine zum Großteil integriert, braucht mindestens 1 Stunde Luft. Hat noch Zeit keine Eile.
December 24, 2020 - let it air for a few hours & then thoroughly enjoyed it with gnocchi with truffle sauce - simply blended in beautifully
