Tenuta Sette Ponti
Orma Bolgheri IGT SuperTuscan Blend
Great tobacco-ey tannins and dark red fruit. On the early side.

May 9th, 20222016: 50% Merlot Super Tuscan/Bordeaux blend with inky texture and highly concentrated mouth feel. After 3 hours the purple and blue fruit overtakes the (largely oak?) tannins and 15% alcohol and the wine really shows its thickness. Maybe a bit of a fruit bomb at this stage but menthol and a hint of leather keep some balance. Could be a star in 2-3 years. $60-65?
