Vintage:

Score:

Grade: 
A-

This is a Super Tuscan blend of 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from Tuscany.  Deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, cassis, slight vanilla, spice and slight mint.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Great acidity.  On the palate, this seems mature but just coming into its own.  Flavors of cherries, cassis, black cherries with a touch of spice and a bit of mint.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  A nice choice for pizza night to be sure.  Drink over the next five to eight years.

This is 100% Nebbiolo from the commune of Serralunga d'Alba of Barolo.  Bright ruby/burgundy in color with a bit or orange on the rim, mostly clear and bright.  The nose is very nice with cherries, tea, slight tar and wild thyme.  Medium bodied.  Great energy and balance.  Firm tannins.  On the palate, this has  some depth.  Flavors of cherries, black cherries, slight tea and char.  Long finish.  This drinks well on its own but better with food.  It would work very well with pasta in a cream and mushroom sauce.  Drink over the next ten to twelve years.
