Dark and dense on the nose with an earthy core and leathery edges. This is fairly closed, showing off expensive French oak and pencil lead over black currant and brambly aromas. Big and powerful on entry, this is tight and filled with austere tannins. ...

Castiglion del Bosco Dainero Toscana IGT Tuscany Italy 2010

Snoothrank:

Brown Ruby in the Glass, smelling of Chocolate and Licorice. Dry and Earthy then bright Cherry/Cinnamon/White Pepper. Interesting bit of Concrete Dust smell with light Smoke and Cedar.

Castiglion del Bosco 1999

Snoothrank:

Dry and tannic, acidic. A blend of spices and full bodied. Red blend, but predominantly Merlot which I don't usually prefer and this proved no different. Read More

Unbalanced. Disappointing. Overly bright up front and sour on the finish. Weak effort. Save your $20. Or $15 if it's on sale. Next. Read More
