Lovely example, which as I recall, set me back $20. Approachable now and improved with air time. Very nice on day 2, too.

Second bottle of this vintage. I double decanted this one for about an hour and it shows 10x better. This is why it was one of the top wines of the year. Buy the 2007 vintage if you can find it.

Just brilliant. Big Super Tuscan with toasty oak and a smoky feel throughout this wine. Loads of fruit and spice. I wish I had decanted this one a lot longer. Needs a good 2 hrs. Paired well with a couple of spicy Italian pasta’s. 2007 vintage. Top 20 wine of the year.

Super-delicious Tuscan. Layered with dark fruit, loam, tobacco and leather. Ultra smooth.

The top shelf Ruffino goes down silky smooth after 10 minutes in the decanter. The 2007 vintage is consumed Dec 2015. Rich berry tones filled by creamy oak and vanilla finish. We should have waited to drink the other Modus!
