Isole e Olena Cepparello Toscana Sangiovese 2013

$74.99

The 2013 Cepparello is superb. Polished, silky nuanced and exceptionally beautiful, the 2013 exudes freshness and energy from start to finish. Succulent red cherry, plum, lavender and rose petal are some of the signatures. Aging in French oak shapes the wine nicely without marking it excessively. The purity of the flavors is striking. This is an especially cool, savory Cepparello built on finesse and persistence rather than power...this is a striking Cepparello. I can't wait to see how it ages. Drink till 2038.

The Margaux of Tuscany. High-toned, intensely floral, crushed little red berries, roast game juices. Impeccable texture, weightless.

This was tight. I should have decanted it. Noticeable French oak. Needs more time.

16+/20 (88+/100) Закрытый аромат с едва различимыми нотами ванили, чёрного перца и черники. Тельное с высокой, резкой кислотностью и интенсивными, вяжущими танинами. Вкус насыщеннее аромата: черника и шоколад. Безусловно, у вина хороший потенциал и со временем оно себя покажет, но сейчас его пить не нужно.

Very young, very balanced, very good. Bright cherry, really balanced oak, vibrant acidity, and soft tannins that disappeared almost magically as the Tuscan sun dipped beneath the horizon. We enjoyed the wine with Medium rare Tuscan steak on a hill overlooking the vineyard in Val D'elsa, Absolutely delicious now, buying more when we return.
