December 23, 2016 - Tasting with Michelle and Bo in Singapore (Pine Close): A thoroughly modern Tuscan wine - this was 70% Merlot and 30% Sangiovese - a world away from Conti Costanti's more famous Brunello and Rosso di Montalcino bottlings. Pretty good though. It had a lovely blue fruited nose, with blueberries and cassis, violets, a touch of green wood, and then a little sprinkle of baking spices and some earthy notes, all this playing against a little oaky vanilla hint in the background. A beautiful bouquet. The palate dense and plush, with ripe, sweet cassis leading into a midpalate that had a nice bit of moreishness to it. It had a very pure finish too, with a crunch of dark fruit kissed with woody tones and a touch of bramble. The wine could probably have benefitted from a few more years in the bottle yet, but it was already starting to feel well-resolved - this was all quite nicely round and well-shaped, with a nice, easygoing sense of freshness to it, and powdery tannins that lent a the wine a nice, but not overly intrusive firmness.
