A real monster. Great tannic structure. Worth a revisit in 7-10 years or so. Hold until then.

Says Tuscany. But balanced with lean tannin. Velvety grip. Could guess a little Sango but there isn't any. Perfect with beef and game. Mushrooms. Big firm presence. Truly Super Tuscan.

Dense and rustic, with notes of licorice, cigar box, and earth. This is like the bizarre love-child of Bordeaux and Brunello. Cab and Merlot, Neil Empson's wine. Drink with wild boar, obviously.

2016 vintage.
Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
2 years ago this had a BIG whack of oak…not ins pleasant way…
NOW….it’s very nice.
Ripe raspberries. Dark plums, smooth acidity and well integrated tannins.
This is lovely with steak on the BBQ.
