Il Burchino Toscana SuperTuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Oh yes! First taste on the palette is amazing! What a marvelous mix of Sangiovese, Merlot, and Cab Sav. Mid palette is smooth and comfy to the taste. Toasting cherry licorice and some light berry. Great Toscana flavors. Back to the nose… sweet lilac and flowery fruit. I would pair this wine with salads, and Salmon or a Pork loin. Like the cool tannins on the finish. Superb sipper! Almost close to the best Virginia wines. Very mature soil taste.

Cherries and toasted oak with a silky medium body mouth feel. The hint of tannic bite is more pronounced now than the last time I had this bottle. Very nice. Glad I have another in the rack

So used to drinking young swill at the $10-15 price point, nice to see a wine from 2016. It's interesting -- 85% Sangio cut with 10% Cab Sauvignon and 5% Merlot. Not a blend I can recall seeing in the past and you'd think it was Californian if you hadn't seen the label.

Super Tuscan Red Blend that includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Ruby red color. Aromas and flavors of tart red fruit (sour cherry and cranberry) Hints of baking spices, earth and cocoa. Touch of vanilla on the finish. Medium body and acidity. Smooth finish. Great value.
