I Balzini White Label Colli della Toscana Centrale Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon

Drank 7/2/29. Great with a t-bone.

Sangiovese and Cab. Magnum. Nose of plums, pencil lead, and cherries, with earthy notes that suggest it's Tuscan heritage. Red and black fruits, with tannins that are still present, but open up after a 30 minute decant. Nicely balanced, with sour cherry, earth, and leather, backed by dusty tannins on the finish. This will hold for a few more years, but at 13 years, is unlikely to improve.

3/21/8/5/4 +50 =91 pts.

Juicy, bold and full of electricity. Tannin gives great structure while staying very discrete

Nice wine!

Naso leggermente di tappo,poi speziato ,di pepe e cuoio,in fondo i frutti rossi .in bocca il tappo non si sente ,buona acidita,tannini presenti ma non aggressivi finale caldo di alcool,in complesso benino...mi aspettavo più sangiovese che cabernet

Well past it’s prime. Very uninspired

Still a great wine 12 years later. Saved a glass for later and 48 hours later in room temperature (65 degrees) it was still awesome.

One of the best out of this small batch vineyard in Chianti. Fresh fruit, smooth tongue and finish, sharp Sangiovese grape in the middle

Pretty easy drinking solid super Tuscan. Really special after it opens up.

Chocolate fruit leather

BBQ and and bonfire w/ the Levine's. Glad we had the magnum
