11/17/20 Tuesday night and to follow up on last night's Gaja Ca'Marcanda Promis I have opened the 2016 Ca' Marcanda Bolgheri Magari. A Super Tuscan blend of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Petit Verdot.
On the nose there is black cherry, plum, black raspberry, strawberry, mint, bell pepper, mocha and crushed gravel.
On the palate there is black cherry, red plum, black currant, green bell pepper, cedar, herbs and an earthyness.
This wine is full bodied with a smooth velvety mouthfeel, medium + acidity and medium + smooth round tannins that leads to a long dark fruit finish. A beautiful expression of a complex super tuscan. Love the mouthfeel and the all around expression of this wine. Continue having a great week and do stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

A wonderful wine, powerful right after opening. Layers of red fruit and a strong dose of cassis. Absolutely love this wine. Long finish. Now I get the Bolgheri/SuperTuscan hype. Chose this wine for B50 9/1/19, and rating affirmed with a smile.

A lot to enjoy here. Evolved for its relative young age but potential to get better. Was much better than I thought it would be. Went excellently with calf and pomme puree!

Wonderful. This has complexity, power, balance and elegance all together.
