ChTR vuosikokous 13.10.2012 (Ravintola Viinille ja Ravintola Pohja): Tasted double blind, had been in the glass for some time. A garnet red with an aged look to it. The nose suggests that this wine is ready now and at its peak, very nice smells of violets and cherries. The palate is quite acidic with cranberry/lingonberry, good tannins, very tasty. I was pleased that I narrowed this down to Tuscany and Sangiovese!

Medium-dark purple, slightly dull. On the nose an impression of maturity, even age: decaying fruit as well as more attractive ripe fruit. That sounds unattractive, but overstates the case: the nose was complex - and interesting rather than seductive. On the palate it's more pleasurable: still a bit tired, but with lots going on. Not a great year in Tuscany, and not a great Cepparello, but one I'm glad to have had the chance to try. I wouldn't rush out to buy it, unless you follow I&O's wines.

Definitely at the tail end of its life but still nice acidity and balance but a very short finish.

Showing a slight sign of age, but mild, smooth and still a mid length finish. Quite an elegant 100% sangiovese after 10 years.

Medium dark color with bricking around rim.Somewhat aeromatically challenged. Seemed closed or tight. Nice round and rich mouth feel, but still tight.
