Castello di Bolgheri
Bolgheri Superiore SuperTuscan Blend
Bolgheri, Livorno, Tuscany, Italy
It is time for my #FridayCabernetfix.
Dark ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Showing plums, black cherries, currants, chocolates, light oak, spices, coffee, licorice, light vanilla, peppercorn, tobacco leaf and light earth.
Medium plus in length on the finish, with grippy tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon blend from Bolgheri. Spicy and interesting. Nicely balanced and elegant.
Very tasty and already enjoyable, although still young. Needs 5 years in the bottle to mature properly. Has good potential to become a 94+ point wine.
A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc and 5% Merlot. Aged for 16 months in French oak barrels and then 6 months in Austrian oak.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$85.

Rich and silky cab-dominated Bolgheri that was such a pleasant surprise. Very new world, needs another year or two.

I enjoyed this one more than the previous Italian. Good fruit went well with the pork dish my wife prepared and I would definitely like to try again in s few years. Good stuff.

2009 Castello di Bolgheri Super Tuscan. Blend of Cab Sauv, Cab Franc & Merlot. The estate borders Sassicaia. As good but more budget friendly around $60 retail. Dark cherry and black currants waft from the glass while anise, cedar and mineral notes bring up the rear. Fleshy and firm. Stunning. #wine #tuscany #bolgheri #italy #sommelier#sommelier#sommelier #somm #sassicaia

Feb 17th, 2014Очень много животных тонов, село, ферма, садовые цветы. Интенсивно, несколько грубовато. Вкус весьма насыщенный, с черными ягодами, в целом вполне симпатичный. 16/20 (89/100)

Bolgheri Superiore DOC 2010, 14.5%. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. A bit young, earthy notes at the nose, but with good acidity a soft tannins.

Super smooth, good fruit, nice balance. Only criticism would be it needs a bit more structure this young. But that could be the restaurant’s fault - the steak was too salty.
