Dr Crane is my favorite! I need to try this.
Had the 13, wasn’t bad but wasn’t great, most 13’s were tight so I probably opened too soon.

Giovanni's Tuscan Reserve Sangiovese Blend 1995
Mike I have several ‘97’s, but not the Tuscan Reserve and don’t think they are holding up as well as the ‘95 we had at @Eric LaMasters house. Happy to send you a bottle if you want to get a reference point.
@Mark Turner hi bud and lots of fun at @Eric LaMasters and I appreciate the offer but I would rather just relish in the thought I got those 95 for $10 and keep the memory as the odds are I want find 95s that good either take care my friend
@Mike R $10? Steal for sure. Relish the memory.

Moving fuel. 42 year old Tempranillo and a uniquely American delicacy to celebrate Independence Day 🧀 🇺🇸 I’m unpacking boxes and listening to the Padres vs Dodgers so other than the wine I’m full throttle Americana today. The Vina Todonia cork dropped in to the bottle immediately upon contact from the Durand so I was not hopeful....but it’s totally intact and it presents with significant bricking in the decanter with expected brown and red tones and is chock full of secondary notes of burnt fig, savory smoke, cigar and soil. Soft tannins and waning acidity but it seems to be putting on “weight” as the afternoon progresses. Another solid showing from this producer at an advanced age. Great stuff. Happy 4th of July to all!! 🍎 ⚾️ 🍷 ☀️ — 14 days ago
