Badia a Coltibuono, or "The Abbey of good harvest," lies in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, between Florence and Siena. The Abbey is approximately 2000 years old. Blend of 90% Sangiovese; 10% Colorino, Canaiolo, & Ciliegiolo. Deep Ruby color, aromas of black fruit and earthy spice nose. On the palate flavors of blackberry and cherry with savory tannins, good balance, black pepper and cacao notes. Medium+ finish ending with earthy mineral notes. Good now. — a month ago

Truncated notes from our family Biden election celebration. Intense nose has hazelnut/hickory nut notes, date/golden raisin fruit, length than reverberates endlessly. Wo-wo-wee-wo, as Borat would say. — 6 years ago

Ruby. Nose of tobacco, smoke, cherry, fresh blackcurrant, violet, earthy. Palate of ripe cherry, blackcurrant, leather, vanilla, clove. Medium + velvet Tannin, medium+ acidity.

Paired with USDA T-bone. It wasn't just a meal; the earthy depth of the wine transformed the mushrooms and steak into a multidimensional experience. It reminded me why I value the art of pairing so much. — 5 months ago

ビンテージが切り替わったので、チェック。
カルレオーネの19が固い印象だったので、気になって飲んでみたが、エレガント。
紅茶やタバコ、チェリーっぽい酸とミネラル感。
ただ、少し水っぽさというか、酒躯の密度が緩いのが気がした…それでも美味しいワイン。
やっぱりブルゴーニュグラスがいいね。 — 3 years ago

Blend of 64% Tempranillo, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Syrah, 6% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby red color with aromas of red and black fruit and toasty spice, from a warmer year. The palate shows plum and blackberry flavors with smoke, cacao and spice. Vivid acidity, firm ripe tannins, integrated lending to a medium+ finish ending with some earthy notes. — 4 months ago

Very good, as always (my third vintage). A cherry, strawberry, leather, vanilla and smoke maybe. High, pleasant acidity. Tannins on their way to smoothness. — 10 months ago

Excellent Tempranillo from another relatively young bodega, from Castilla y Leon. Ripe berry fruits with licorice, thyme, and a lovely balsamic touch. Need time to round out the sharp acidity and the firm tannins, but at this young age it paired very well with a juicy steak. — 4 years ago

Ruby colour. Interesting nose - with hints of cherry and star anise. Lovely and smooth. Not overly complex. Tannins firm but yielding on the finish. A solid wine. — 4 years ago
