Full bottle 1,265 g. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot on limestone rich in alberese and gabbro as well as stones and pebbles, with some clay, at 100 to 300 m above the nearby sea. Facing west and south-west. Warm year and a harvest that began as early as 23 August for the Merlot. Dry ice needed in the winery. 40% new barriques, 40% second use and 20% third and fourth passage in equal proportion (presumably previously used for stablemate Sassicaia). 95% French oak, 5% American. Interesting nose that manages to be both rich and savoury. Heady top notes and balsam flavours on a palate that is so much more Tuscan than bordelais! If someone told me this had some Sangiovese in it, I would not be surprised. Appetising luncheon wine. Quite long and well balanced but at the moment needs aeration. Still quite tight. (JR)
