£11.50 Wine Society On the nose this has notes of sweet tar and smoky, rich blackberry and cherry fruit, serious stuff. In the mouth this is rather tight but has some wonderful, textured, slightly bitter cherry and blackcurrant, lips making acidity and tongue coating tannins (but in a good way!) 90pts

Very well made. Spicy, black fruit and good texture. Smoother than Chianti, this is a blend Sangiovese, Ciliegiolo, Colorino, Alicante and Syrah. Can drink without food.

Wonderful.

Tried an old friend, something aged, and this one. This was the standout.

Classic Sg on the note; bags of cherries and tar. Well structured with firm acidity but fruit is muted in the palate.

A smooth yet bold super Tuscan with rich stewed plum, cassis and dusty blackberry on the nose and a super smooth palate full of cherry, chocolate and a hint of vanilla on the finish. We paired it with spicy sausage and broccolini tagliatelle.

Lots of structure and depth. Screams of Tuscany. Red fruits and dusty tannins.
