Tenuta di Arceno

Il Fauno di Arcanum Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2021

Early ripening Bordeaux Blend of 35% Merlot, 35% Cab Franc, 25% Cab Sauv & 5% Petit Verdot. Dark Ruby red color with aromas of rich berry fruits with spice, herb and cigar box notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and cherry with cinnamon and cedar. Soft fine tannins, rich mouthfeel well balanced with vivid acidity. Long finish ending with fruit, cedar and tobacco. Will benefit from some short term aging, Nice value! — 2 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

This producer is an underrated powerhouse. Always impressive. This is another excellent showing. Complex. Strong fruit. Power but with spice and earthy kick. Fantastic. I would give it a few more years. Should be even better. — 3 days ago

Guidalberto Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2022

Silky smooth and very balanced but missing a bit of ompf and flavor. Maybe too young? Seems to be the point of a second wine though... — 22 days ago

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2013

Well. These vintages are becoming rarer and rarer now that Beyoncé and Jay Z popularize it. Plum, graphite, tobacco on the nose. Poised and elegant on the palate, with silky fruit, fine grain tannins and a minera edge to it 👌🏻 — 18 hours ago

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 1999

Medium deep garnet core , medium wide garnet rim . This shows very well still with some sous bois , dried herbal hints and cherry . On the palate this shows good freshness , red cherry again, freshly cut herbs , touch of tobacco and black tea . Balanced acidity and lightly dusty but resolved tannins . Good length and presence on the palate , with enough fruit still , good balance and a black tea stained finish. This is at peak , and will probably stay here for a few more years , so no immediate rush, but is unlikely to improve further . — 13 days ago
