Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2008

9.0

The oak has integrated from my previous note in February 2017 where the influence of oak Barriques was overly present. Sangiovese is not enhanced by too much oak in my opinion and is best matured in large Botti like I said in my previous note like Biondi Santi. Red cherry and earth notes finishing with powdery tannins. Coming together. — 5 months ago

Hi Bob, I would expect a higher rating, certainly seen its age

Bob McDonald

@Anthony De Blasi perhaps a 91 or 92 Anthony but I couldn’t give it more.

Montevertine

Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2020

Jay Kline

9.1

Poured into a decanter right before service. The 2020 pours a deep garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Montmorency cherry, red flowers, black tea, fresh sage, some dried green herbs and dry, dusty earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a classic, rustic Chianti Classico without the DOCG designation. Better after 2030 and will drink well through 2045. — 5 months ago

@Ely Cohn same. Time is needed for the wall of structure to relax and come into better balance with the fruit.
