WNH virtual tasting...95 Percarlo delivers Black cherries, Asian spices, wood smoke, mint, and dried tobacco all soar from the glass, and it's complex and nuanced yet still packs serious punch and intensity. Full-bodied, concentrated wine that still has years to go.

Drank the 97 twice this past year, thought having a baby would be fun to compare. Bottom line is this wine needs an abundant amount of time. Despite the tannins being crunchy, other elements are in place. Give it another 15 years.

A full bodied, voluptuous, tar tinged Tuscan treat from @Shawn R this started out red and moved to black as it strutted and expanded. I’d say drinking young at the legal age of 21.

Night 1 of the Fall WNH event in San Antonio. What a killer start to the extended weekend, all courtesy to Shawn and Jennifer for hosting! Tonight was Italian wines.

Underripe heirloom tomato, charred raspberries and birch wood on the nose. Tastes so young on the palate...great acidity. It finishes with a spicy red fruit/black peppercorn note. Great bottle from

One of the most complex wines I have had. Rich mahogany, cool cellar nose maybe a hint of sweet black fruit. Again, projects this soft texture yet has so many layers on the palate. Madero leaf, toffee and milk chocolate blanket the palate. On the finish I get the return of the black fruits and smoke. Beautiful-

Had this beauty at a private tasting. Started by Brothers Luca and Francesco Martini di Cigala with their inaugural vintage in 1983. They hand select only the finest grapes for their flagship Sangiovese Percarlo. Complex aromas of soft round red fruits with flavors of sweet cherry and blackberry on the palate. Perfect balance silky tannins on a long lingering finish. Tasting Sample.

Rich, silky, voluptuous and radiant. Still in great shape, with plenty of life ahead!

The most powerful 100% Sangiovese I've come across. High impact bottling.

Smalti, pungenze, sali da bagno e frutto scuro per un sorso di elevata struttura, severo e appagante
