Fontecanese Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

9.3

Pleasant 100% Italian Cabernet that will take another 5 yr to flush out and develop more character. But smooth and elegant now. Add a point or two in 5-8 yrs. — 2 days ago

Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2008

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. — 2 months ago

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

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

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

This sample was given to me. Tannins are resolved to the point of almost nonexistent. A fair amount of acid with what little fruit was dark and baked. Cherries leather and tobacco leaf. Darn yummy but I wish I had some food with it. — 18 days ago
