Tasting Notes

17.5
Jancis Robinson Walter Speller - 02 Oct 14
Hand-numbered magnum number 304 of 2,170 produced. Date of harvest: 13 September 2003. Youthful, impenetrable ruby. Balsamic nose with black olive, graphite and hint of dried fruit and leather. Black tea. Amazingly fresh and lively for this vintage, but closes up quite suddenly on the finish. Needs much more time. (WS)
Drinking Date: 2016 - 2028

Tuscany

Tuscany, a renowned wine region in central Italy, is famous for its high-quality Sangiovese-based wines. Key styles include Chianti, with vibrant acidity and red fruit flavours; Chianti Classico, known for greater depth; and Brunello di Montalcino, prized for its rich, full-bodied character and ageing potential. Tuscany also produces prestigious Super Tuscan wines that blend Sangiovese with international varietals like Cabernet Sauvignon. Top producers are Antinori, for Tignanello; Castello di Ama, for Chianti Classico; and Biondi-Santi, for Brunello.
