  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
