Fantastic. Juicy and clean. Super aromas. The Petit Verdot comes through. Hoisin, incense and mineral. Floral. A profound nose. So elegant and juicy. Clean as a whistle with that Tuscan freshness and slight rusticity. A brilliant wine.

Tuscany its its essence, a Cabernet Franc dominated wine at this level is unique in the world of wine. Driven by elegance throughout a long and elegant finish that combines the features of being refined with a pronounced density and long silencing finish.

Needs 90 minutes. Before then it’s really weird. Goes from a 7.0 to a 9.7 in 2 hours. Yes. It’s true.

Nose graphite explosion. Blackberry flower. Cherry flower.

Palate is silky blackberry. Man. That Forte elegance. Gorgeous shimmering mountain stream infused with blackberries.

As this opens more nose is gorgeous blackberry flower. Palate is Pete t blackberry flower. Hint of graphite.

Wow. So close to melo and anfiteatro.

This needs to be glass decanted. You get new weirdness from the beginning with each pour.

Internal@aromatics are wow! Blackberry liquor. Lilacs. Expansive. Delicious. Liquid silk made from flowers.

Finish is the most gorgeous elegant blackberry liquor. Hint of savoriness. Wow wow wow. Wine.

With more air intense lilacs and violets.

Sweet nose of maturing bordeaux varietals. Blackberry, graphite, cedar. Palate is long and beginning to integrate. Long finish and a touch of heat. Elegant. Not our usual style but an excellent match with spicy chicken liver ragù. Polished and elegant with good bones. Revisit in 5 years…
