7.0


Suvla 'Sur' 2011, Gallipoli Peninsula, Turkey
Blend of Merlot, Cab Franc, Cab Sauv, Petit Verdot. Very one dimensional. Extraction, fruit and oak. Jammy, black cherry, stewed plum mixed with vanilla spice. A good wine for Napa Valley palate.

Drinking well? I just had this not too long ago and it seemed super tight! Did you decant?

It had notes of cedar and leather and spicy, very complex. It was approachable and delicious right out of the bottle. I also tasted it after it had been decanted for six hours - just to see the progression. It really softened up and quieted down after that. One of the best tastes of the year, actually.

Podere Le Ripi

Bonsai Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese

Generous, intense, brooding, sexy wine from accomplished winemaker #SebastianNasello of #PodereLeRipi. Due to #sommlife, I've had approximately 60 #sangiovese based wines in 48 hours. This one takes the cake. Or, the steak, as it were. #bonsai is from a #montalcino vineyard with 63,000+ vines/ha, forcing hydrostatic stress & rapid root development. 600 bottles produced. Almost all, sadly, consumed greedily upon release (guilty as charged). I'd love to see where this goes... — 10 years ago
