This ages so well. A balance of mature and fresh: cigars, tomato leaf, eggplant (first time I think I ever said that!), cassis.
Finely structured tannins, the acids have mellowed a little but still very present.
Who knows how long this one could go but it's a great time to drink it now! — 6 days ago

House wine, available by the glass, at Il Focalare,Montespertoli. Back with Curly after 18 years. Reminds me of my previous favourite Chianti Classico, Rocca delle Macìe. A superb example of Chianti Classico. — 2 months ago

Sadly This is no longer Trebbiano and Malvasia. Now it's 90% Chard and 10 % Pinot Grigio.. The Frescobaldi house pulled out all of their Malvasia and Trebbiano due to climate change (and Pomino is among the highest altitude growing regions of Tuscany) - and replaced those vines with these more hardy and more boring varieties.
Interesting that they kept the same exact name and label, but I guess it's all still accurate?

This also very sadly means no more Vin Santo.

Huge producer but all organic. Cranberry, cherry, orange peel, tobacco leaf, carob, perfect smidge of VA to keep things interesting. Ripe, tactile tannins. Touch hot at 14.5%. Drink or hold with or without food. I preferred the balance of this on day 2. — a month ago

2007 vintage.
Given to me by one of my best friends.
He said go pick something from my fridge and take it home….OK

Developed cherry, leather, tobacco and herbal sage notes. Still holding astringency and acidity in balance,

Powerful aroma including cassis blackberry and cherry, oak vanilla. Chalk mineral. 30 min, much better, but not necessary for deep decanting. Almost 2019 Lucente 21 @6500, Bic - Oren I G, 250922-250924 — 2 months ago

This took a long time to taste this good. What an absolute monster of a wine. Worth every minute I waited for it. — 6 months ago
