  SangioFest, Volume III "It's my favourite spot" (Chicago, IL): This was decanted quite a few hours before dinner, so if it actually was TCA on the bottle, it certainly had the opportunity to blossom. It didn't, but the nose smells what the nose smells, and the palate tastes what the palate tastes -- this was corked to me.

  Bottle label was clean. Looks well cellared. Level at bottom neck. Capsule clean. Cork with no seepage. Full cork removed with my Durand.
  Immediete bouquet of cherries noted. Initial taste of tight tannins and black cherries and raspberries. Let it oxygenate for 24 hours (as recommended by Franco Biondi-Santi) and has opened up into a delightful complex wine with berries, chocolate, and leather with a long finish. A wonderful wine again demonstrating how BS is for long cellaring
  Glad I have a few more bottles

  Sadly on the way down. Sweet and sour, earthy, dusty, a little sad. A touch oxidised. Over the hill. Was once a thing of beauty, for sure.

  North London TWS Tastings Series: Tuscany (Terra Rossa N1): My bottle and coming to the end of these.
  This was more advanced that the last one and on that basis less impressive.
  Still and impressive wine but will drink up my last bottles in the next twelve months

  Tuscan wines of North London (Terra Rossa): Very mature, as expected. Deep, soft and leafy, lots of earth and tobacco, and some even more tertiary aromas such as menthol and shoe polish. Silky soft but slightly sharp with that Sangiovese acidity. In good condition and certainly delicious, but definitely got the impression these must on the downslope now.
