Tenuta Ghiaccio Forte

Morellino di Scansano Sangiovese 2020

A fresh, vibrant, and intensely flavorful Sangiovese (85) /Cabernet Sauvignon (15) blend. Begins with aromas of fresh cherry & plum with undertones of clove & sweet tobacco. A perfect pairing with homemade lasagna, and worth noting improved after a decant and into day 2! [9/6/24] ($18) — 19 days ago

Vento Forte Toscana IGT Vermentino 2019

Bright gold with coppery overtones. Unctuous nose of honey, dried apple., and clay! Palate is full and complex yielding layers of dried apple, white flowers, burnt marzipan, hay, and cinnamon bark. Acidity is firm from entry to finish. Finish is long and recalls the earthier earlier flavors. Wow. I may not think of Vermentino the same way. A complex, layered white with enough "stuff" to compliment a wide range of foods from seafood to poultry to (yes) lighter cuts of beef. Drink now through 2027. — 2 years ago

Nose has that classic confectionary Sangiovese fruit. Cherry flower, cherry spice, herbs and lovely earthy aromas. Great mint as well. Also some Valhrona chocolate. Palate is rich and linear with lovely freshness, acids and depth. A very clean wine and superb length. Great delineation, purity and balance. Good tannic structure for short term aging. Maybe even mid term aging. — a month ago

al forte Coste della sesia Rosso 2018

What a great example of the region the way the additions of Croatina and Vespolina complement the Nebbiolo all grown on the acidic volcanic soil of the region. Red berry flowers mint. Very alpine feel. Plus built to drink early. — 8 months ago

Château Montviel

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Une belle robe rubis avec un pourtour orangé, c’est un 2015. Le nez est sur le bois, le graphite, les fruits, le poivron vert, le tabac, le cuir et les prunes. Autant dire qu’il offre beaucoup et évolue. En bouche les tanins sont secs. La présence du bois se fait sentir et masque le fruit. C’est long et puissant avec une forte amertume. Vendu à prix raisonnable pour Pomerol. Je le laisserais en cave quelques années de plus pour assagir les tanins. 80 % Merlot et 20% Cabernet Franc. — 3 months ago
