Now in Florence and well, more Tignanello! Similar experience to the bottle in Venice. Approachable and delicious! Went well with the Bistecca Fiorentina! — 10 years ago

Not very full until about 2 hours after opening, but turned out to be full bodied, fruity and very smooth. Definitely a worthy purchase at $25. — 11 years ago

Bolgheri became known for being the birthplace of Super Tuscans (wines using mainly international varietal like cabernet sauvignon ,merlot, cab franc and syrah )about 50 yrs ago when the benchmark SASSICAIA was first created. Since then the area has been growing immensely producing some great expensive wines( Sassicaia, Ornellaia , Masseto) but also some affordable easy drinking ones like BRUCIATO that encloses softness of the smell of the breeze that touches Bolgheri and its hills is expressed in the glass with a deep ruby red and hints of cherry, blackberry and sweet spices. In the mouth ,is elegant and cozy ,thanks to a delicate softness , also due to the refinement of 12 months in new oak barrels and nice spice and delicate aromas The nose is dominated by intense notes of ripe red berry fruit and complementary aromas of sweet spices and coffee.Ample and

Domaine Lamy-Pillot

Grande Montagne Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Chardonnay 2008

Surprisingly buttery for a chassagne. Nice acidity to balance it. Consistent linger. Lacks the minerality I would have expected. Lemony melon on the nose. — 11 years ago
