Rating: Wine Spectator 97, James Suckling 97
Tasting note: It presents an intense and very expressive aromatic bouquet with vanilla and spicy notes reminiscent of sweet gingerbread. Swirling the glass gradually reveals hints of cinnamon and cloves, along with ripe fruit, plum and cherry aromas on the nose. On the palate, the wine seduces with its frank attack and its structure of elegant, molten tannins bringing a beautiful substance. The very fresh finish stretches forth into a remarkably persistent length. A great Super Tuscan from Tenuta Luce della Vite, in an exceptional vintage.
