Too big and ripe for me.

Impeccable balance from the perfect bing cherry nose to the fine tannins loading pipe tobacco, sour cherry, and lean plum notes. My 1st Balthazar (12 litres) was a charm!

Very disappointing. Corkscrew went right through the cork, and the cork crumbled. I keep all my wines horizontally in controlled temp. Wine burned my throat and tasted horrible. Saved this one for a long time, and was dissatisfied.

Tasted with a group of 2007 Tuscan peers, about a week ago. Like all the wines, it got three hours of decanting before serving. This one was perhaps the most immediately approachable of the group, and showed sweeter fruit than the other bottles in the tasting. Of all the wines in the tasting, it saw the lowest percentage of new French oak, at 35%, which probably helped the fruit shine through. However, it also gave the impression that it might not be one to hold for too many more years.

A 10 year old Cepparello with all the finesse and complexity of this cuvee in a really good and elegant year. Polished tannins, great fruit, spices and the typical tuscan acidity with medium body and good length. Ready to drink but will hold well for several years still.
