Villaggio Rocca d'Orcia Sangiovese 2022

WOTN at a Tuscan tasting last Thursday, though not my vote. Really nice and unique expression of Sangiovese (100%). Bright red cherries, a little oaky bitterness, mint and some light herbs. But mostly the cherries. No chocolate, no cola. Very light and fruity. Most unique is the unmistakeable taste of orange soda on the finish. Very good!

Vento Forte Toscana IGT Vermentino 2019

Bright gold with coppery overtones. Unctuous nose of honey, dried apple., and clay! Palate is full and complex yielding layers of dried apple, white flowers, burnt marzipan, hay, and cinnamon bark. Acidity is firm from entry to finish. Finish is long and recalls the earthier earlier flavors. Wow. I may not think of Vermentino the same way. A complex, layered white with enough "stuff" to compliment a wide range of foods from seafood to poultry to (yes) lighter cuts of beef. Drink now through 2027. — 4 years ago

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Bom aroma, cor de vinho maduro, bom corpo. O vinho já está no ponto, a Sil já achou com sabor mais envelhecido, embora não tenha achado ruim. Eu achei muito bom, bem equilibrado e bem encorpado. O álcool se destaca e dar uma sensação de vinho forte. — 5 years ago

Château Montviel

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2015

Une belle robe rubis avec un pourtour orangé, c’est un 2015. Le nez est sur le bois, le graphite, les fruits, le poivron vert, le tabac, le cuir et les prunes. Autant dire qu’il offre beaucoup et évolue. En bouche les tanins sont secs. La présence du bois se fait sentir et masque le fruit. C’est long et puissant avec une forte amertume. Vendu à prix raisonnable pour Pomerol. Je le laisserais en cave quelques années de plus pour assagir les tanins. 80 % Merlot et 20% Cabernet Franc. — 2 years ago
