O'Lillo Toscana IGT SuperTuscan Blend
Big black pepper. Pretty expressive for the price. Fruit is dissipating. Effortless and seamless texture, quite light body in the palate despite the big flavors. Some rustic Italian funk on the finish but the spice dominates. I miss selling this wine.

Jun 12th, 2017An interesting super tuscan. Equal parts merlot, sangio, cab, and syrah. Closed and tannic night 1, but much more open on night 2. Decent value.

Mar 12th, 2017Good valued Tuscan #wine. Color, aromas and flavor are stereotypical, hoping for a touch more in each aspect. Deep roses/cherry. More cherry and wild berry with pointed bitter finish. Mild tannin, moderate acidity. Straightforward.

Dec 13th, 2016Mulled cherry, saddle leather, and a savory floral/herbal/mint combo that really gives this personality. Moderate tannins supply ample structure and balances the noticeable acidity. Really enjoying this on its own, but without food I'm not doing it justice.

Oct 12th, 2016This medium-bodied blend sips easily w/ its sweet & pure fruit. Tannins are just a bit rustic but add "character". Very approachable Super Tuscan in flavor & affordability.
