Well structured Bordeaux-style blend (60% Cab, 40% Cab Franc) from Pisa, Tuscany. Great depth, freshness and colour with aromatic dark fruity notes. Interesting and unique find from an extensive Jacobs & Co wine list. 92 — 7 years ago

Yes, we also collect Australian wine (Two Hands & Penfolds)...but they need many, many, many years so my posts are justifiably far between. Been aggressive on Two Hands from 2002 forward, great stuff, requires patience. WS indicated a 2020 peak, I disagree, likely 2022+ is more reasonable for the top end. We miss the days of paying $48 for these bottles.
Nose has intensely focused black cherry & pomegranate compote, mashed red raspberry and a cedar bat which Big Papi has full swing crushed you in your mouth enough times to know that 'it's there'.
Palate has a tawny note of raspberry port, plum & blueberry juice, cedar notes are fading but balanced, tannins are resolved and this wine is drinking near perfection. Amazinly long finish.
Still some heat of alchol on the nose letting you know it's still going to kick you in the hind quarters at some point (15% ABV). — 6 years ago
トスカーナのメルロー100。
メルローらしさはそんなにないが、うまく熟成されていて、果実味は透明感があって滑らか。アフターには高いアルコールを感じる。
熟成ワインがこの値段で買えるなら、有りだと思う。 — 7 years ago
