2004 Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT (4/24/2007)
WIML~90,PURPLE90,NOWA,WS91

Tasted double blind at home on April 24, 2007. Opened and served immediately in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Dark garnet color, clear hue throughout. Nose of black berries, plums, tobacco and maybe some currants. Flavors of raspberries, red berries, cherries and a little bitters on the finish. Maybe a little eucalyptus on the medium length finish. Medium to high acidity, firm tannins, medium body. Drink now maybe with some decanting time or hold a year or two and try again then. My guess is this is the 2004 Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo we have in our queue. (90 pts.)

2004 Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo Toscana IGT - Italy, Tuscany, Toscana IGT (6/1/2007)
WIML91,NOWA,WS91

Tasted June 1, 2007 at an offline. Opened and glass decanted 2 hours before serving in a Spiegelau Authentis Magnum glass. Dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose of black berries, plums and some meatiness. A bit richer fruits in the palate this time with flavors of red cherries, ripe raspberries and red berries. Medium acidity, tannins and body. The additional airtime really helped this wine. Upping my previous rating by one WIML point. Drink now with an extended decant or hold. (91 pts.)
