At the peak of its drinking window the 2010 La Torre BdM is delicious right now. Slightly wild, it has an autumnal quality that evokes brambles, blackberries and perhaps even a touch of dried leaves. Not the most polished but like a brisk walk in a cool breeze, there's something to be cherished here.

As elegant as Sangiovese gets. Drink now or wait 20 years. You'll be thrilled either way.

A delicious red wine. Very easy to drink and simply regretted that we took the last bottle from the restaurant.

Very fruity but flirts with unbearable levels of volatile acidity Not enough acidity to balance the fruit so it is stewy at times. Also flirts with noticeable heat. Cough syrupy.

Initially, ripe cherries and vanilla. Two hours later, no oak, drier, and less ripe.
