Previous tasting note was nearly 9 years ago in December 2015. The wine now shows menthol, mint and a little tar. Medium weight, earthy and very Tuscan in my experience. Dry fine savoury tannins. Galloni gave this 96+ points and said when first reviewed “it should be a gem in another 5 to 10 years “ and I can advise it is singing at 14 years of age but could still go on for at least another 5 years. Next night - very silty, earthy and savoury. M+ intensity. Could not be anything but Sangiovese from Tuscany.

The first nod towards modern wine making with this wine was its appearance in screw cap. Also approx 30% new Oak , but this did not mask its Old school Italianate heritage using 100% Sangiovese grapes, this being an IGT Toscana. Earthy notes with some mushroom and vanilla. From the classic 2010 vintage and only now entering its drinking window. Finishing off with fine drying tannins.

A baby. Wish this had more time to decant, but tobacco nose and black cherry, plum and tobacco body with some spice. Dark color and the oak is evident.

2010 vintage. Beautiful sangio! Opened up with tar and red fruits, softened to ripe red berries and flowers. Love

18/20 (94/100) Красивый и насыщенный аромат с нотами вишневого варенья, черники, ментола, шоколада, чёрного перца и имбиря. Мощная структура: тельное с высокой кислотностью и интенсивными, ещё суховатыми танинами. Ягодное во вкусе с продолжительным шоколадным послевкусие. Яркое, молодое вино с потенциалом, но уже сейчас доставляет удовольствие.
