Ruffino Modus 2007, Igt Toscana Bottle
Ruffino Modus 2007, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy
$29.95

On the last bottle of four (sigh), this one finally started working for me, revealing its Tuscan origins, with decent complexity. Fruit has faded to reveal earthy notes, and flavours linger. Clearly should have cellared it for longer.

Didn't take detailed notes, but this was quite fine. Balanced, with quite a lot of fruit still and lots to dig your nose into.

Last bottle of several, and still going strong. Spot on nose of red berries; full and enticing. Similar bright fruit flavours, but some earthy complexity is starting to emerge as well. Nice bright acids. Some serious PN for $23. Methinks we won't be seeing that kind of bargain around any more.
