  Another great example of the 2016s being ready to go right from the beginning. A vibrant wine with a complex, evolving palate. Enjoyed two glasses via coravin and then finished the bottle twos days later. The first glasses after popping the cork were the best...probably benefited from the small amount of air that the coravin introduces. Excited to see where this goes, but already very enjoyable

  The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis), prune, raisin and light toast. The body is medium/full. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.

  Nose of cherry, earth, mushrooms. Solid spine of acidity and fine tannins. And what a finish! Drinks like a pinot but then the savory notes give it away. Have two more which I shall patiently age.

  3 hour decant. Closed and needs way more time in the bottle. Found it hard to score this since I rarely drink wines so far in advance of their drinking window. Strong cherry and plum notes and strong tannins. First Biondi-Santi I’ve had and consumed to determine whether to purchase a half-case to put away in the cellar.

  (100% Sangiovese grosso, während 36 Monaten im grossen Holzfass ausgebaut). Mittleres Granatrot, dezente Orangetöne am Rand. Die Nase ist anfangs zurückhaltend und zeigt eine minime Reduktion, deutet gleichzeitig viel Tiefgang an und öffnet sich mit Luft wunderbar: Kräuter, welke Rosen, rote Kirschen, Walderdbeeren, auch etwas Lakritze, Schwarztee, Ingwer, sehr komplex und sich ständig verändernd. Im Gaumen druckvoll, anfangs mit viel Schmelz wird im mittleren Gaumen immer straffer, zeigt eine mächtige Struktur, ultrafeines Tannin, eine perfekt integrierte Säure sowie eine knackige, rote Beerenfrucht, der Wein zeigt Kraft, jedoch genauso viel Finesse, alles ist an seinem Platz, wirkt stimmig, harmonisch. Im Abgang fast endlose lang, feinwürzig und rotfruchtig, mit floralen Rückaromen. Ein ausgezeichneter Wein aus einem grossen Jahr, hat grosse Reserven und wird von ein paar Jahren Kellerreife profitieren. 2024 bis 2042+, 96 vvPunkte. www.vvwine.ch
