Previous tasting note was nearly 9 years ago in December 2015. The wine now shows menthol, mint and a little tar. Medium weight, earthy and very Tuscan in my experience. Dry fine savoury tannins. Galloni gave this 96+ points and said when first reviewed “it should be a gem in another 5 to 10 years “ and I can advise it is singing at 14 years of age but could still go on for at least another 5 years. Next night - very silty, earthy and savoury. M+ intensity. Could not be anything but Sangiovese from Tuscany. — 9 months ago

This wine is medium gold. The nose opens up to a bouquet of stone and tropical fruit notes such as ripe peach, apricot, papaya, starfruit, melon, and cantaloupe.

Other primary aromas include orange peel, wet stone, white blossom, and salinity. This wine also has secondary notes of sweet cream, brioche, pencil shavings, and vanilla.

The flavors on the palate are consistent. It’s a full bodied white with high alcohol (14%) and has a rich mouthfeel, balanced by a dose of acidity. — 2 years ago

Mint is correct. Red fruit and earth and gentle oak. High acidity. Super food friendly. One of the best. 2004 but feels young! — 4 months ago

Sofia’s favorite vineyard plot. A “smoke show” we called it. Generally the 19s were the standouts — beautifully balanced and giving all of the dried herb and earthy notes typical of great Chianti Classico — but this was an exception, opulent and spicey (allspice, cinnamon, cedar) and so so fragrant. Stay in the look out for these wines — Sofia (the estate manager) and Giocomo (vineyard manger and cellar master, most recently of Isole & Olena) are making some really intentional and pretty wines here. — 2 years ago
