Youth is apparent in this lovely wine. Well rounded body for this super Tuscan. Red fruit are dominate, with smoother tannins. The acidity is still a little high for my liking but cellar time should cure that

Seek out this phenomenal value, refined, restrained but powerful Bolgh that needs a few years more in the cellar to sort out.

Across the board, complex at every turn. Although this showed some age, having been harvested I've 16 years earlier, this monster is still gripping with significant aroma of dried rose, earth & pencil shavings. Slight aldehydic notes on the finish, loads of tannin, high alcohol, acidity, complexity & length. Could probably still cautiously age another 5-10 years.
