2014 is a notoriously difficult vintage in Tuscany, but this showcases the finesses achievable in a challenging season.

The nose shows fresh cherry, red currant, pinecone, violet, and touch of leather and baking spices. Medium-to-full body on the leaner side, the plate is marked by vibrant acidity and refined silky tannins. Hint of sweetness on the long finish.

The color is remarkable. The florals are just next level. My goodness. Red roses that are almost Nebbiolo like. Bartolo. Stunning spice. Cinnamon. Just slays. This nose is a 10 and that is not in dispute. Under all of the florals and berry. Luscious and pure and has lift and energy but needs to catch up to the nose. Sweet sweet fruit that is mid season cherry. Complex and fresh and the acidity is on point. Needs air. With 7 hours of air this is stunning. Nose is all florals, all early season cherry fruit, and stunning spice. Unreal palate. Magic. Elegant, sweet, deep and just vibrates on its own plane. Such fine tannins. Brilliant. Nose is just so elite. The most stunning florals ever. 10.0. Maybe 11.0. Palate is just insane. 9.9 now. Such sweetness and depth. Silly purity and big velvety and sweet tannins. — 6 months ago

Garnet coloration. On the nose, amarena cherry, plum, vanilla, sweet toasted oak and forest floor. On the palate, same notes as on the nose, with a long plum and sweet toasted oak finish. Big, bold, full bodied and lush. Great amarone. — 3 months ago

Pretty similar colour to the Bartolo , medium deep garnet core , slightly less terracotta at the rim. Porcini mushrooms , sous bois , dried meat , really quite complex. On the palate more mineral , but with a strong meaty , porcini mushroom note , then with blueberry , blackberry . Very fine but present tannins , lovely balanced acidity . Long and really refined . With time in the glass shows well , but will improve over the next 5 -8 years and continue on a further 10 at least — 2 years ago
