Borgo Scopeto (Tenuta Caparzo)
Borgonero Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
This wine fa schifo. (Had to google the correct spelling of schifo). Honestly, I originally had high hopes for this, but it fell way short of expectations. I can't get over the aftertaste: the tannins are not friendly.

Not the greatest example of a super Tuscan, but that doesn't mean it's not good. Make sure you've got some food with it. Good little wine.

Well balanced Tuscan blend. 60% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah, 20% Cab. Good tannins and alcohol showing black cherry, leather, light spice and oak. Still a bit tight but would benefit from a hour two in a decanter. Not convinced it warrants WE's 94 rating. The 2011 should have another 3-5 years.

A good balance of fruit forward and dry finish. Good stand alone wine, but even better with a meal.

Very nice, typical Tuscan blend. Fruit-forward with a smooth, earthy finish.
