  Castiglion del Bosco Rosso di Montalcino 2010

  Snoothrank:

  The robe (appearance) of this wine is lighter than expected and the nose is muted, though with herbal, vinous and sour red berry (wild bog cranberry) scent. In some ways, the palate gets an old fashioned Chianti - one watered down by white varieties (though this is not the case here, empirically). Very easy on the tongue, balanced for early dri...

Big and powerful on entry, this is tight and filled with austere tannins. Theres bright if well integrated acidity here and a black hole of black currant and tea leaf fr... Read More

  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

  Campo del Drago 2003

  Snoothrank:

On the Palate, blackberry and plum with earthy backbone and flavors of leather and black pepper on the long and intense finish. Tannin is a little rough for the first 2 hours after op... Read More
