Slow O'd for 2 hours, followed by three more in the decanter. A bit acidic on initial pour, but much better with food and best on the last glass. Give this some more time and air. Pure and clean.

Thick as Thieves

Levings Yarra Valley Pinot Noir 2017

First decent sunshine in the garden
Weekend is on early this week
Got delivered a 6 pack split between 2017 and 2016 yesterday
This '17 is delicious!!
It reminds me a lot of a sangiovese from Radda or Castelnuovo Berardenga or even a northern brunello. Vibrant, mineral, but supported by strong shoulders that you can't notice much at this stage. Neat and precise are the violet,tobacco and licorice.
Spices, leather and cola. The fruit is between a blood orange and a raspberry. I dare to say it recalls a Soldera's Brunello. Long, young and enjoyable from now and many years ahead.

@Ceccherini Cristiano interesting comparisons. I don’t often read about Pinot’s characteristics in this way. If this is that close of a comparison to two very different varietals then, I may have to reorganize my cellar better so that I don’t get Brunello’s and Pinot mixed up.

@Rob Brobst III 😄😄
Mind though I didn't compared sangovese and pinot, but specific sangiovese from specific areas with this specific pinot. Many producers in Tuscany are known to be producing wines that resemble a Burgundy, but the play in your mouth is slightly different. Instead of fascinate you with the array of scents, smooth touch and a never ending elegant after-taste some wines IMO they deliver a juiciness when they enter and then in the mid palate they explode and spread everywhere with a long powerful after-taste. Well I reckon this T&T pinot noir had that factor that I find in many Tuscan wines, specifically in sangiovese from Radda, Castelnuovo(sometines) and Montosoli(northern area of Montalcino); other wines are like that(Kurni, Habemus...) but having ancestors from the Chianti area shifts me easily on that vision.
I don't think you need to move anything around in your cellar😄, but you got curious on what you would have done in regards🤗. Cheers mate!🙏

La Sorpresa Castelnuovo Berardenga Trebbiano-Malvasia Blend 2013

Yet another Italian producer of natural wine knocking it out of the park. A polite kind of funk, smoke, resinous, dried apricots, loaminess, with a floral tinged finish that lingers pleasantly — 7 years ago

Colonia Gran Selezione Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2010

Serious Sangiovese that needs time but holy moly. Tobacco and weird teas, earth, and some tart berries/cherries. Cellar forever and pop it when you're high on medical marijuana. — 8 years ago

Podere le Boncie (Giovanna Morganti)

5 Toscana Ciliegiolo Blend 2012

Giovanna Morganti: Podere Le Boncie. She's a fine and set apart winemaker in San Felice/Castelnuovo Berardenga. Her house is the cellar, her mystic garden the vineyard where she does home-grown her own sangiovese grapes and few others local vine variety (mammolo foglia-tonda colorino canaiolo) allowed in the Chianti Classico Appellation, with such a filial piety and discipline as they were kids in a kindergarden. "Le Trame" is the name of her A rated eldest child, a magnificent utterance of Tuscany through the wine. Here's instead, her declassified sangiovese under the IGT umbrella (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) called simply, 5 - with a touch of self-irony - which in terms of grades at the School would be C or D. I do adore this "slacker" and strapping "5" for the harshness sour inborn at the wine, a spontaneous expression of a very acidic and stoney soil too! — 9 years ago

First taste of a completely new category to me. In Castelnuovo Berardenga. After dinner with Chris/Therese Joe/Kathy. Mild almost amber color. Very aromatic nose of cardamom cinnamon five spice. Surprisingly light palate on first contact but heat does come through with a lingering earthy finish. Interesting! 16.5 ABV. — 2 years ago
