AR | This is medium ruby in colour and beginning to show early signs of evolution; it's pleasantly fragrant with sangio typicity , albeit not super-intense but quite inviting; on tasting, there's a very attractive flavour and richness of texture, bolstered by ripe, resolved tannins that bring a light grip to the struture , while the underyling acidity acts as ballast to bring balance to a very likeable Tuscan red with medium-term ageing potential. Drink Dates: 2025 - 2033. 93
MP | Pronounced nose showing obvious oak influence including hazelnut, coffee, dark chocolate and liquorice. Sangiovese is here as well with earthy notes, strawberry jam, raspberry, red currant and blueberry jam. In the mouth it's assertive with high alcohol that the acidity struggles to handle. It's long, complex and very powerful - Brunello comes no larger than this! Drink Dates: 2027 - 2033. 94
