Guardiavigna Toscana Sangiovese Blend

Very impressed with this. The nose is jam compote and boysenberry.
The palette is linear, pristine and pure. The tannins are hand-polished by little cellar bitches. You would never know that this is majorly merlot (60%) and cab franc (20%). There's a dollop of petit verdot which brings lift and brightness to the experience. Finish keeps pumping. Needs another 5 years in the bottle, but showing beautifully now.
Such an extravagant evening of tastings!

2009 from magnum; released in 2016. I was floored here... Great presence of spicy red fruits, velvety tannins and a fleshy yet bone dry but still expansive palate, allowing elements to shine on the chalky finish. Impressive to say the least!

Im Wunderbrunnen mit Jens: 16.7.26. Letzte flasche, perfekte san giovese reife. Nothing else to add!
