"Incredibly well-crafted red here. Complex aromas of raspberries, vanilla and coffee. Medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long, silky finish. A beauty."

"Cepparello is somewhat unusual for a Super Tuscan, in that is it comprised of 100% Sangiovese. The wine was aged for 14 months in barriques, one third of which was new. This is a beautiful effort in a difficult vintage, marked by complexity and purity. Notes of black cherries, plums and leather are framed by slightly austere tannins, making this ideal for decanting for at least a few hours. The wine will continue to improve for another 7-10 years."

"Aromas of blackberry, cedar and vanilla. Balanced and reserved, with a medium body, good fruit and a fresh finish. Refined. Best after 2007. 3,600 cases made. –JS"
