Dark ruby color. Deep aromas of dried cherries, prunes, orange zest, tobacco and leather. The bold palate features dried dark cherries, ripe plum, black currant, coffee, mint, baking spices and vanilla. Long and velvety finish. Very concentrated and bold yet the tannins and texture are quite soft. Fresh acidity and wonderful balance. Full bodied and lush. Excellent! Thanks for the bottle, Kase! — 21 days ago

Azienda Agricola Poggio al Grillo Rezeno Aleatico Passito 2023, Tuscany, Italy

This is a delicious sweet wine from Tuscany.

Medium bodied with high acidity and a long finish.

Sweet on the palate with red fruits, spices, chocolates and light earth.

Nicely balanced with enough acidity to balance the sugars.

Needs a few years to mature properly, but already enjoyable.

Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine. Would be nice to revisit it in 7 to 10 years.

100% Aleatico grapes were dried for one month, and then fermented, leaving 150 g/l of sugar. A tiny production of only 800 bottles made.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

Astonishing nose — 9 days ago

Hot nose, big floral, fat berry, tar, chocolate. Medium dry tannins, lots of oak, takes away a bit from the fruit. Tight. Needs to breathe. I’ll wait to score. After two hours it’s put on weight. Fruit came out and tannins became well integrated. I’d have given it a 87-88 on opening but now it’s a solid 92. — a month ago

This was a fantastic wine. Nose is hard to discern. But after a 30 min decant, the wine opens beautifully to ripe blue fruit, blackberry and hints of red fruit. Lovely mouthfeel. Just easy drinking, great ripe fruit forward wine. I see why JS gave it a 99. Loved it! — a month ago
