From a Supertuscan lunch. This was another very deeply coloured wine. Rich blackfruits and tobacco on the nose. Similar flavours and healthy tannins on the medium to full bodied wine. Maybe a touch too big, but tasty (A-).

1ere après 5 ans de cave question de voir sa situation Carafé 1h30 Oeil pourpe au reflet rubis, aucun signe d'évolution Nez magnifique sur une trame de jeune fruits noirs, mure, cerise noire, orange sanguine, épices asiatiques, réglisse et boite à cigare... puissant et envoutant, je comprend pourquoi avoir tant aimé la toscane à mes débuts La bouche masculine nous sert une vive attaque fruitée et épicée, beaucoup de puissance! Le toucher est acide et fait saliver, les tannins sont encore rugueux, voire jeune La finale dure éternellement et vous assèche partiellement la bouche, en laissant un arrière goût de fruit noirs, de boite à cigare et d'épices asiatiques Très beau, encore jeune

Nice wine. Medium bodied with prunes, black cherries and blackberries. Good length, finishes with a really dry end with quite grippy tannins. Will last for some time methinks. The acidity is a little on the sharp side, but this works with the dry finish.

Frescobaldi wines (Wine Depot, Tel-Aviv): dark opaque red-black
ripe dry cherries aroma with tertiary aromas and leather hints
fresh firm tannins, tertiary flavours of dark ripe fruits, well balanced & excellent harmony, heavy, rich, powerful, structured, medium complexity, excellent rustic aftertaste, enduring finish.92
