Decanted 15 minutes. Musty at first, but that went away with air, revealing raisin and oaky notes. Medium acidity, dense yet fresh, with lots of blackcurrants and blackberries, tobacco, leather; tannins are now mellow but not fully integrated yet - it’s a wine with body and character for sure with a nice oaky ending. Excellent wine, my first Saffredi but not the last. Drink now-2028. At peak or close to it now.

Magnum best bottle (Restaurant Holz und Feuer, Kirchheim, Germany): Glass: Sophienwald Bordeaux From Magnum. Wonderful youthful, deep ruby color. Super fine, elegant and fresh nose. On the palate also super young and fresh. Very balanced, very elegant. Beautiful fine, red fruit, velvet texture, tannin is super fine, high, ripe acidity. Very long, layered finish. Toscana at its very best! 95-96

Tuscany Tasting + X (@Private location, Schwäbisch Gmünd): Quick notes for my own memory, no full tasting note, no rating. Tasted blind. Fresh, young, lively, but also with some tertiary aromas. Beautiful super Tuscan blend at its very peak. Tension, depth, lots of extract and very long. Love it! 94
