1999 Gagliole Colli della Toscana Centrale – Opened this with a strip steak slathered in pesto and drizzled with aged balsamic vinegar (yummy!). Dark red in color. Nose is quite earthy, with dark fruit, licorice, cigar tobacco, and freshly turned soil. Flavors contain notes of raspberry, black cherry, licorice, tea leaves, and some spice. Good balance. The tannins are still pretty firm and mouthcoating and the finish is long with lots of herbal character. Also, this was a relatively good bargain, as I bought it at $25, marked down from $50. A pretty nice bottle of wine with some interesting flavors and aromas that really grabbed my attention.

All the best,

Jean
