Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti)
30 Saffredi Maremma Toscana Super Tuscan Blend
2016. Clearly has serious chops but just too oaky and closed at this point, with a lack of acid or tartness to balance or enliven the dark fruit. A shame for such a concentrated wine - would expect the oak to better integrate over time but too dominant now. $80 at WL.

Jan 4th, 2022Absolutely baller Super Tuscan. Opulent nose, with a palate that makes you want more. Rich black sun soaked fruit with deep tobacco flavor. While still young and a little tannic, time is on its side with a couple of decades of drinkiblity.
