Ruffino Modus Toscana

Deep ruby in color; cherries, blackberries, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like cassis, black plums, and tomato leaves with a long finish. Nellie likes it, and I do too.

Vin moderne, technologique et fait pour plaire, malgré un défaut notoire les tanins assèchent le palais. Des fruits noirs, prunes, bois. La bouche est a pas mal de matière pour pour le prix. Acheté pour les points bonis. Bu 2 bouteilles, même sur deux jours les tanins sont toujours aussi sec.

Medium-deep ruby color.
Aromas of dark fruit, herbal. Faint.
Dry. Flavors of stewed black plum/cherry, black pepper, spice, cinnamon, licorice, clove

Intensity: 3/5
Complexity: 3/5
Balance: 4/5
Finish: 4/5

Course 4 wine. Maine lobster, Wagyu culotte steak, corn purée, truffle potato chips. Terrific pairing, even though I would never have dreamed of putting a big Tuscan with lobster. Loved it.

Very nice. Lots of flavor. Smooth. Served too warm, but solid.

Nice red blend

Nice super Tuscan

3rd place from our Friday wine club, I voted it #2......

This blend of almost equal amounts of sangiovese, merlot, & cabernet is very good. Red berry fruit, oak, pleasant tannic structure.
