Enticing floral, wild berry, new leather and truffle aromas seemingly float out of the glass, growing darker with spice as the wine takes on air. The palate is elegant and still youthfully austere, offering Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, clove and white pepper flavors, framed by firm, chewy tannins and vibrant acidity. A licorice note closes the lingering finish. Drink 2018 2035.

Wow perfect balance of fruit and earth and structure. Balanced. Top notch.

Extraordinary over vintage 2013 Toscany.

The Nobile di Montepulciano Riserva is really superlative, an exciting wine with minerally, earthy personality and high calibre and complexity. Relaxed and nuanced with beautiful aromas od raspberries and other wild berries, enfolded in subtle hints of leather and golden tabacco. A consitent, vibrant palate, succelent and racy yet firm with flavoursome tannic backbone.

Deep ruby with brownblackish tinges. Oatmeal with a layer of ripe fruit and hints of spice. Ripe yet fluid fruit on the palate and nicely balanced by grainy tannins
