San Giusto a Rentennano

Percarlo Toscana Sangiovese 1997

A wonderful mature and complex nose of cherries , plums , dried leaves and leather. What pleased me the most was the lack of alcohol aromas given the warmth of the vintage . Just as pleasing was the lack of alcohol on the palate. The weight of the wine on the palate I’m sure was the result of the vintage. Cherries, plums and tobacco flavors were in harmony. Tannins lingered. If I had a “nit” it was the lack of great complexity on the palate.. — 20 days ago

It’s just too young. The older 2011 version was excellent.

Agricola San Felice

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

Dried red cherry fruit, really fine acidity and balance, not a big blockbuster, but a lovely mid-weight Chianti, lingering finish. — 15 days ago
