Villaggio Rocca d'Orcia Sangiovese 2020

For a Sangiovese that’s not “ super Tuscan”, there is evident oak. But this Jr.* package is finely knit, all in balance.
Lots of chocolate, mint, leather, dark cherries and oak tannins seductively put together. More of an adventure for those with some Sangiovese experience than an introduction. With Chicken livers & Garam Masala very nice.
Thanks, @FassSelections

Petrucci Orcia Sangiovese 2018

This has to be one of the most refined and finessed sangiovese I've tried. Think Hermitage or Saint Joseph levels of refinement and balance. — 8 days ago

Château Montviel

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Une belle robe rubis avec un pourtour orangé, c’est un 2015. Le nez est sur le bois, le graphite, les fruits, le poivron vert, le tabac, le cuir et les prunes. Autant dire qu’il offre beaucoup et évolue. En bouche les tanins sont secs. La présence du bois se fait sentir et masque le fruit. C’est long et puissant avec une forte amertume. Vendu à prix raisonnable pour Pomerol. Je le laisserais en cave quelques années de plus pour assagir les tanins. 80 % Merlot et 20% Cabernet Franc. — 5 months ago

Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte

Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese 2022

Bright light medium ruby . Quite aromatic with strawberry , rose , spicy red cherry and raspberry on the nose . On the palate quite fresh and fruit driven , with those strawberry and red cherry notes , balanced acidity and quite light ripe tannins, balanced alcohol . Ok length. For early consumption but well made with good freshness and a lively fruit and floral personality. Drink now and over the next couple of years. — 2 months ago

Vento Forte Toscana IGT Vermentino 2019

Bright gold with coppery overtones. Unctuous nose of honey, dried apple., and clay! Palate is full and complex yielding layers of dried apple, white flowers, burnt marzipan, hay, and cinnamon bark. Acidity is firm from entry to finish. Finish is long and recalls the earthier earlier flavors. Wow. I may not think of Vermentino the same way. A complex, layered white with enough "stuff" to compliment a wide range of foods from seafood to poultry to (yes) lighter cuts of beef. Drink now through 2027. — 3 years ago
