Absolutely wonderful. What every Super Tuscan should aim to be. Full, with well-integrated oak, cherry, forest fruit, leather, barrel... just everything good.

Tenuta Luce Della Vite ‘Luce’ 2011: Medium-full bodied. Elegant structure & balance. Nicely integrated tannins. Dark fruits. Plum. Tobacco. Vanilla. Oak. Spice. Long velvety-rich finish. Consisting of grape varieties Sangiovese & Merlot, this Tuscan red blend was ripe, fresh & elegant. It was the perfect harmony of depth & purity of fruit. I love this iconic & legendary wine and it was the ideal vintage worthy of this beautiful steak meal. Great day to all! Cheers 🇮🇹🍷🥩

Open let this sit. It got better and better. Very tight and tannic when first opened. 1.5 hrs open starts to show fruit Blueberry. Vanilla mint/herb. Not getting as much cherry/mocha as would expect. Very good structure extra long finish.
