2005 Rocca delle Macie Sasyr Toscana IGT

Brilliant deep ruby red. Right from the get-go, this has a delicious nose. Berry-City, USA, I mean Italia. Blackberries and boysenberries, gorgeous melted down strawberry licorice, vanilla. Also some dried blueberries and sweet hay. Smooth, velvety tannin, but firm. There is more sweet fruit and red and black licorice on the finish. A medium bodied, vivid, hedonistic wine drinking well now, but by the end of the bottle I found myself wanting even more grip and more earth. 60% Sangiovese & 40% Syrah.

B+

$12
