Sondraia Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend

What a treat. Definitely worth sitting on this beast for 6 years. Big and full punch in your face, with some definitely Tuscan trademark favours rounding it out. I even taste the Florentine leather somehow 😉

👍👍

Da invecchiare

Dried herbs, pepper spice, raspberry, early, nice balance and good finish.

Nice combination of new world fruit and old world secondary flavors. Still young with persistent tannins but should be even better in a few years.

Opulent delicious vino. New world primary favors accompanied by Old World secondary.

Plummy but not overly interesting.

Delicious but not all that interesting.

Boom. Big and great.

At first, this wine seemed slightly over the hill. Not sure if it was pairing with food, some aeration or the alcohol (in my head) that let this wine blossom in the glass. This wine sings after 30 minutes. Somewhat soft and round with lots of structure and backbone making a for a great balanced wine.
