Ruffino

Riserva Ducale Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2013

This 11 year old Sangiovese is still drinking nicely.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, earth, vegetables, spices, light oak and chocolate notes.

Showing nice complexity, but a little unbalanced.

I definitely like it better with age.

A blend of 80% Sangiovese with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

89 points.

$30.

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Le Volte Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2021

Deep opaque purple. Vibrant smell of red berries and lavender. Full bodied but comes across as very ‘athletic’. Tannins and acidity are spot on and the wine leaves an impression of effortless presence and harmony. Impactful yet very refined. A tight rope walker, making it seem all so easy. Flirting with greatness yet so ephemeral. A wine that definitely leaves a vivid impression on your memory, like a painting. Bravo. 92+ (easily) — 19 hours ago

Casanova di Neri

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Delicious wine. Complex and juicy with black- and redcurrants. Top vintage shinning through. If i was being picky there was slightly too much alcohol but that is really nit picking. — 5 days ago

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2016

I think I preferred the 2015 but ever so slightly and as much as I struggle to believe glasses make a difference they poured the 2016 in a big cab glass and I think that distracted from the flavors that were evident in the tighter 2015 glass. — 15 days ago

Marchesi Antinori

Solaia Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2019

Second bottle from this vintage. Much better experience this time. Last wasn’t bad and perhaps was just an off night/bottle. This Solaia was packing significant range and depth. The fruit was beautifully structured and was so well rounded. Seemed more mature than just 5 years. Excellent. — 4 hours ago

Ca'Marcanda Promis Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2020

Tannic at the open and smoother into the finish. This one will be even better with more years behind it. — 15 days ago
