Loads of cherry on the nose and palate. Quick 1 hour decant and really can’t feel the 15.5% ABV. Not a load of tertiary notes, but very pleasant and easy drinking with the fruit still vibrant.

Tuscany wine tour with Tim Syrad Wine Tours. Tasted in Tar Tufo restaurant in Siena. Notes by my wife Liz. 100% Sangiovese; 15.5% L – deep ruby N – rich stewed plum T – spicy (cinnamon etc) fruit Too alcoholic for most of the group – a bit of a blockbuster. Our host ordered an alternative wine.

{winery visit} Woah, this one comes in at 15,5% abv., yet very little carries through to the nose and/or palate; good freshness. This is rich, juicy, layered and succulent. Some may look down upon these wines as being modern, it matters not to me - I know how they farm (sustainably), I taste their land and grape, and it's sapid, long, and pleasurable, so nothing else really matters. Plenty of acidity to carry this, though suggest <65F and a 30-60 minute aeration in decanter. Thru 2023. recommended+
