Tasting Notes

94
Vinous Stephen Tanzer - 01 Jul 12
Good full, bright, deep red. Spicy aromas and flavors of cherry, plum, menthol, mint and licorice. Denser, fleshier and sweeter than the basic bottling, with strong saline minerality contributing to the impression of chewy extract. The rising finish boasts building floral length and superb thrust.

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.
