Ca'Marcanda Promis Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2022

Drank with boneless ribeye perfectly cooked. Great red berry fruit; dark strawberry. Some richness. Really smooth. Some spiciness. Would love to try this with another few years of age. Light tannins. With SW board and Blues. — 5 days ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2003

+1 hour decant(decent chunky/fine sediment). A splendid medium dark garnet color. On the nose: perfumed notes of red fruit, herbaceous, eucalyptus, mushroom, smoked meat, ripe olives, sweet tobacco. Taste: rich, velvety full wine with brambly dark cherry/plum, coffee, dark chocolate, orange peel, and a peppery- dried herbs- gamey long finish. YUM! A nicely aged and elegant wine with soft tannins and good acidity!! — 18 days ago

Fattoria di Fèlsina Berardenga

Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2017

Not for the meek mannered types. Tannins & oak aging definitely playing the forefront. There were hints of berry,cherry fruit but were just peeking through. Would go well with most tuscan cuisine's. — 5 years ago

Modus Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2018

I've already reviewed the 2020, so I'll keep it brief. I've been a big fan of this wine for 12 years. It is one of my go-to Italian reds when I am having friends over for a feast. And this bottle is tasting great without a feast.
Listening to Phil Keaggy. (Check out his album Beyond Nature. Phil is the greatest guitarist I've ever met, and he's one of the best in the world)

His albums are hit and miss, but Beyond Nature is wonderful @Gary Wilson

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2021

Vanilla, oak and spices on the nose that beautifully integrates with tart cherry, blackberry and soft tannins on the palette. Very young wine that is of exceptional quality that would certainly benefit from aging to have tertiary flavors and aromas develop. — a month ago

Fontodi's biggest seller.
Super earthy, full on cow manure, barnyard, mushroom earthiness. .
A dark inky Chianti.
A Panchetta pork cutting Chianti.
Yep this bold one will cut through any and all offal or fatty meat goodness you can find.

Castello di Monsanto

Riserva Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2020

I like the graphics. It looks like the wallpaper in an Italian restaurant in Philadelphia in 1965. The wine is great, too. I'm sneaking a sip while I cook, and hoping there will be a sip left when I'm done cooking. You ever do that?
I won't break down the flavor profile; it just tastes like solid Sangiovese.

Flaccianello della Pieve Colli Toscana Centrale Sangiovese 2016

Medium ruby . Quite reserved , spiced red fruits and mineral hints . On the palate this is really concentrated and mineral but really quite young and intense . Lots of high acidity and grippy tannins , very saline and mineral on the long vibrating finish . Come back in 5-10 years and will last well a further 10 .
