Podere Poggio Scalette

Il Carbonaione Alta Valle della Greve IGT Sangiovese 2018

2018:
Bouquet is oak and berries. Just like being there when the juice is placed in the barrel. The initial palate is outrageously good! Big oak up front. Large dark berry presentation. No butter. Very dry.Lots of cigar box and soil flavors. No spice. No chocolate. No sour. 14.5% abv. Wonderfully dry finish. Simply amazing. Nothing to confuse your palette. I LOVE this wine. My favorite of 2023 so far. 67 dollars from wine.com. And for the record, this 2018 is perfectly aged for my palate. My palette disagrees with those who say otherwise. I LOVE IT!!!!!! Drink now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 2010

Cherry,dried and black; scribbles of graphite in a tinder box. Campfire smoke, and dark tobaccos brood in clusters of black currant. Glints of plum skin and baked raspberries. Cinnamon and cedar shavings. Dried cherry and black berries persist into the palate, with green peppercorns and dried violets dusted in graphite. Smoke snakes around black bread with currants, fig and black raisins. A phenomenal fall treat. That’ll do the trick!
