Il Tasso

Marchesi Antinori

Guado al Tasso Bolgheri Superiore Red Bordeaux Blend 2007

I bought this bottle in Florence around 2019. I later found out the shop was owned by Antinori - the producer of the wine. An excellent Super Tuscan from Bolgheri. 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot. Dark Ruby with a tawny rim starting to develop. Classic Bordeaux descriptors of Cassis, herbs, tobacco and hints of cocoa with oak totally integrated. A rich and mouth filling palate such that it could have been from a new world vineyard in a good vintage. This is comparable in quality to a good Super Second. Interestingly the 2007 had the major change of Syrah being eliminated from the blend in favour of Cabernet Franc. An outstanding Bordeaux blend which exceeded expectations. I should keep an eye out for more bottles. — 9 days ago

Castello di Amorosa

Il Barone Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Classic Napa cab. Constrained fruit, mellow tannins, good structure. Beautiful cassis notes. This bottle was a gift. After looking up the prices I was pretty shocked. Totally not worth North of $150. — 3 days ago

Tenuta Il Poggione

Riserva Vigna Paganelli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Vintage 2015 | first bottle of a six-box. Gave it two hours in decanter but the wine kept a bit stubborn, you can taste it is rich and complex, but for me it felt as infanticide. Huge potential. — 2 months ago

Beautiful wine. Dusty tannins. Black cherry with faint herbs. Probably would benefit from a decant — 6 days ago

Cantina Zaccagnini

Il Vino Dal Tralcetto Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2021

Berry forward, complex, full bodied with just a hint of chocolate and oak. Easy drinking but stands up to whatever you're pairing it with. Was the go-to wine for my late grandmother and I see why. I would absolutely drink this again and raise a glass to her. — 10 days ago

-Il Quadro delle Rose- Feudo di Mezzo Etna Rosso Nerello Mascalese 2018

If you see it, buy it! One of the best Nerello that I have had. This is a lighter version with tart red fruit, crisp acidity , hint of smoke and 14 ABV. Well integrated alcohol and layered flavors. This delivers big time. — 5 days ago
