Sipping Fine Wine
Tried again! In the heart of the Chianti lies Estate of Sette Ponti, 15 miles northwest of the city of Arezzo, past village of San Giustino Valdarno. Has 10% Merlot, aged in French Allier barriques, deep Ruby with red fruit aromas and floral notes. On the palate blackberry, plum and cherry flavors with blossom notes, spice and fine integrated tannins. Good balance, long finish ending with some oak and mineral tones. Nice! Will age a bit! Tasting well now!

9.1"Odedi"
This is a nice Tuscan Red. Showing black and red fruits with wood, earth, spices, peppercorn, tobacco, chocolates and coffee. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Still young, but already enjoyable even by itself. Needs a couple of hours to open up properly. I paired it with BBQ Meats. A blend of 90% Sangiovese and 10% Merlot. 14% alcohol by volume. 89 points. $25.

8.9"Odedi"
This is a young Tuscan Red. Showing red and black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, vegetables, green herbs, tobacco leaf and peppercorn. Medium plus in body and tangy. Very dry on the palate with medium plus acidity. Medium finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries. This 3 year old will be better in 5 years. A good food wine that I paired with cheeses and dried meats. 14% alcohol by volume. 88 points.

Amazing Tuscan value. Screams Italy. Old world style but concentrated.
