My worst experience so far with this wine. Simply don’t touch it for the next 5-6 years. Nose is actually wild. Again this kirsch liqueur feeling, but this time with some marzipan, dust, rubber and it’s not balanced at all. The taste safes it from totally disaster, as there emerges some herbs, spices which give purity and harmonises Percalo. Again the taste is exotic and knowing know that it’s Percarlo I can’t recognize it at all. (90)

Yes here it was again. This time not decanted. We have kirsch liqueur again, more fleshy (bacon). The fruit core is more compact and smells of octane, potatoes and glycerine. Taste is again good – fair purity in the first part, but more metallic in the finish than the first decanted version of the night. (90)

Deep red color. With leather, roasted cofee, cherry and a very complex nose. This is the second time I try this wine and it is by far the best 100% Sangiovese wine I have ever tasted. In the mouth the wine has so much structure and the finish is outstanding and last for 1min (98+)

What a shame. To serve this wine with fried Fois gras was disaster. It’s seriously closed down – even more after I tasted it in April this year. There is still a lot of fruit, herbs and very dry finish with harsh tannins. Leave it to sleep for at least 4-5 years. (93)

At first it didn’t show much of it’s usual stuff. Closed was my first note, but comes back with a deep core, but nothing like previous encounters – the wine is more smoked. Taste is the wines main force and here it all comes together, with mind-blowing structure and although it is dry, it’s just my palate. Should note that this is the lowest I have scored this wine (96)
