2012 TOLAINI “VALDISANTI” TOSCANA From James Suckling, "Aromas of licorice, tar and berry follow through to a full body, velvety tannins and a savory finish. Rich and powerful. Drink or hold." 92 Points From Vinous, "The 2012 Valdisanti is Tolaini's Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend. Raspberry jam, cloves, menthol, new leather, French oak and licorice give the 2012 its dark, powerful personality. The presence of slightly oxidative notes in the aromatics suggest the 2012 won't be a long-term ager, but it is quite attractive today and has enough balance to drink well for at least a handful of years. Tasted two times." 90 Points
