A matter of taste - Day 1: *** Brief notes from wine fair, primarily for my own memory *** Glass: Stölzle Universal Very concentrated, salty, complex, deep and dense. High tannin that needs to soften. Needs at least 5+ years to fully shine. 93++

Audozed 6 hours, served non-blind. Highly aromatic, with deeply embossed flavors/layers of black fruits, spice, soil. Can be consumed now (and it improves after it's been opened), but for my tastes, I'd love to see this in another 4-5 years. Seriously tasty, but I have a hard time making sense of its quality to price ratio. Easily highly recommended
The Estates flagship wine 'Tenuta di Trinoro' Rosso is yet another fabulous showing in this excellent vintage. Growing conditions were ideal across Tuscany in 2015, as the warm season allowed for slow and steady ripening, with cooler conditions late in the season allowing for optimum harvest time. The final blend consists of 50% Cabernet Franc, 36% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 4% Petit Verdot, which spent 8 months in new French oak barriques, 11 months in cement vats. This instantly impresses as the ripe characteristics of the vintage are certainly evident. The wine itself displays a dark, inky color followed seductive aromas of ripe dark cherries, blackberries, spices, fresh violets graphite and hints of tobacco that all come together and soar from the glass. On the palate this full-bodied Rosso possesses a gorgeous opulent texture with beautifully polished tannins making for a wonderful mouthfeel. It displays remarkable depth and concentration, with the structure to hold everything in place as layers of ripe fruit continue to build up to the long, supple finish. Overall this is a majestic wine from Andrea Franchetti, and while it offers immediate appeal, there is little doubt this will go on to have a wonderful evolution ahead.
