At dinner following our son’s wedding. No notes but I do recall this as being excellent as it always is. Obviously too young but the class was there and the table loved it.

Fully mature, dried fruit, leather, herbs, balsamic. Not over the hill but overlooking the precipice. Highly enjoyable with the bistecca fiorentina of a lifetime courtesy of chef Paolo

The 5th wine from the Downs Club Italian Dinner and from Magnum. Brief notes. 100% Sangiovese - dry, dusty cherry notes. Herbs and balsamic notes. Touch of liquorice. A long way to go. An authentic expression of Tuscan Sangiovese.

We must exercise if we must drink so much wine. Please take care of yourselves out there.

Always a winner…delicious, sweet oak presence and combines with high acid nicely…herbal with tomato paste…this was devoured by the table in minutes…

At the Toowoomba Wine Show Judges Dinner. No detailed notes. Normally a well performed Tuscan Cuvée but from the lesser 2014 vintage. Light to medium weight- lacking density and concentration.

Blew me away. Dry and pure with sweet oak tannins and a chocolate maraschino cherry core. Bordeaux-like perfume, elegance and grace. This will age well but not required if you have a decanter and an hour of restraint.

Formed in the 1950's when DeMarchi family purchased two vineyards in the heart of Chianti Classico region, combining them into one. Aromas of full ripe berry fruits with notes of savory spice and oak on this 100% Sangiovese. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with tobacco and nutty spice. Fine tannins still needs time but approachable, lingering ending with earthy oak. Nice!
