Lucente La Vite Toscana SuperTuscan Blend
Stewed plums, cherries, vanilla, red currants. A bit oxidized, probably open too long.

Sep 9th, 2015Smells great, tastes better. Nice and layered. Complex in a soft way. The acidity is electrifying. The taste lingers. I've had three sips and I'm already completely satisfied. What a well-made gem out of Tuscany. Consistently good across vintages.

Feb 8th, 2015New release from LdV in 20th vintage; complex bright aromas of black cassis fruit, cedar box and spice. Palate is refined and tannins firm and long. Approachable now but will improve 2-5 yrs

Jul 27th, 2016SuperTuscan for Mere's bday. Plum dark, alcohol bite, barrel and tannic forward. A bit lackluster with unmellowed sourness and effervescence. Kiwi, red apple, jalapeño heat.
