Super-Tuscan
Bindella Vallocaia 1997 (Toscana Montepulciano Italia)
This wine is a blend of prugnolo gentile (85%) and cabernet sauvignon (15%). It is fermented in the maceration process for fifteen to eighteen days on the skins before being aged in oak barriques for eighteen months. The wine is then bottle aged for an additional six months. The nose features subtle berry, tobacco and oak notes. The palette is dry with vigorous tannins, typical of Super Tuscans, but mellows with adequate decanting. Flavors of currant, tobacco and pencil lead are featured and complemented by a very, very long finish.

Tricorno Colli Toscana 1999 (Italy)
One of the best Super Tuscans I have had in quite sometime! The aromatics of this particular wine are rich with fruit and floral essence. I would describe its taste as jammy and chewy in its fruit forward character and yet subtly dry. The finish continues on your palette for over a mouthwatering 45 seconds. A bargain at the price, this wine is ready for drinking now or cellaring for your future enjoyment.
