i bought this on release. Opened a bottle 2 years later and it was so tight it didnt for the entire dinner. Opened yesterday and to my surprise the tannins had completely softened and a wonder wine swirling in my glass. There wasn't much of a nose, but this soft well-balanced Tuscan gem red fruit and a hint of anise. Longer finish. — 5 months ago
A Tuscan red blend that we have had in the United States as well as in Italy. In the US you can buy this for $16 a bottle at Total Wine and see it in a restaurant for $52 a bottle. I was in the north end of Boston and paid $80 for the same bottle! If you are in Florence this bottle costs about €15.30 in the supermarket and will run you about €22 to €27 in a restaurant.  — 7 months ago
Drinking with the Killer B’s (Bonnie, Brooks, Bert and I). Amazing! Mineral, dry, BOLD — 3 years ago
2020 vintage, Nose: strawberry, red rope licorice, plum, dark cherry (things I LOVE). Taste: low acid, some tannins but not overly drying, fruity yet not over the top because the tannins and 14.5 % alcohol keep it in check, along with hints of leather and spice. I paid $32 but it drinks like a $60 bottle, especially if compared to Bordeaux with the same grapes. Good value. — 4 years ago
Incredibly lucky to even taste this, way outside of what I'm familiar with. First thing i noticed is how concentrated the nose is, extremely aromatic, red fruit with a creamy note and oak that is perfectly integrated. Normally I can smell when an ABV is this high but not with this wine. I can't believe how perfectly balanced it is - tannins, fruit, acidity, oak is all the perfect exact amounts so that nothing stands out on its own, but it has such concentrated flavor that everything stands out at the same time — 17 days ago

The oak has integrated from my previous note in February 2017 where the influence of oak Barriques was overly present. Sangiovese is not enhanced by too much oak in my opinion and is best matured in large Botti like I said in my previous note like Biondi Santi. Red cherry and earth notes finishing with powdery tannins. Coming together. — 6 months ago

Pretty tasty. Roses, leather, dark chocolate cherries, forest, some pepper. Overall I like it. — a year ago

Gaja Ca’Marcanda Magari 2017: Smooth. Balanced. Inviting. Medium tannins. Medium acidity. Full flavors. Blackberry. Tobacco. Spice. Earth. Overall, a rich (& lovely) Super Tuscan wine consisting of 60% Cabernet Franc, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon & 10% Petit Verdot. Drinking fantastic right now but if given the chance, I would hold. Great day to all! Cheers🍷 — 5 years ago
This wine is dark ruby in the glass. The nose shows black cherry, plum, and some spice. On the palate, fruit is forward with an earthy minerality following. The tannins are smooth, and the finish is long, with dark berries being the predominant flavor. I used this one for a pasta sauce, but it would pair quite well with any beef or pork dish. — a month ago
May be catching me at just the right time but I love it. Great core, well balanced and very promising. Pleasant surprise thought it’s really young — 10 months ago

Old standby. I guess i haven't written about the 2022. This wine is softer than previous bottlings. Typical Sangiovese flavors, though the tiny bit of Cabernet Franc is apparent. Cherry, sweet tobacco, a bit heavy on florals, lower tannins but a lingering finish.
