Among the very few straight Sangiovese in the zone. This is an aspirational wine. As, I suppose, a Super Tuscan should be. Yet in the Montefili fashion, there is a signature thread of cool restraint: impeccable ripeness, modest contextual alcohol and beautifully applied oak. This does not stretch into the mocha-espresso zone of over-extraction, but rides shotgun to a pungent mineral freshness while spieling notes of polished leather, bing cherry, thyme, oregano, mountain air and anise along a corset of crunchy acidity. Subdued, precise and intense all at once. This is very fine 2025-2038

My old mate Ned Goodwin brought a set from this producer along to a tasting, so nice to get to try them. New estate for me. Biscuit oak, liquorice, bramble fruit, stony, pencil. Medium-bodied, liquid mineral, new leather and fresh car smell, very dense, etched glassy acidity, and plenty of length. Savoury, fruit sweet, and very serious. Modern but classic. I scored it 95 or 96, one of those wines, but there’s some resonance of tasting coming through, which pushes me forward.
