A magnum won by DL in a works raffle!
No prior experience of this region whatsoever. I read that the grape is sangiovese and the area is tuscany.
It was hugely enjoyable. Earthy, funky nose. Some coffee/dark chocolate? silky, refined tannins. Still retained plenty of power but well balanced. A great wine.
Interesting that aged prestigious wines from different areas made with different grapes seem to converge somewhat over the years - it certainly had something in common with riojas and clarets of a similar price bracket and age.
