Back in 2008 I attended a memorable tasting; a bottle of 1997 Togni was a true eye-opener for me then and I have been a fan ever since. Again, yesterday, it was great as always. 🔥 — 3 days ago

Powerfull well rounded blueberry and black currants. Soft tannins carrying pepper leather and tobacco. Well balanced with acidity that rounds out the red fruit flavors the wine is abundant with. — a month ago

i've had this off & on for the past 25 years and it reliably offers copious amounts of fruit along with cocoa, vanilla & other decadent flavors & aromas. This was no different just not as polished or balanced as I recall. Wonder if they've increased production - this is their entry level offering — 2 months ago

Decanted. I tasted this not knowing the year. I don’t normally care for older wines but this one was a surprise. — 3 months ago
