Soffocone Di Vincigliata 2011, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$34.95
now! 2019
approx summer 2019....from what I recall, it was nice but I was expecting more based on critic's comments....maybe it was just me, the meal, and the particular day....it happens.

March 2021.....awesome wine, The quality shines through. Dont recall exact details (had 6 weeks ago) but do remember it was easily worth the price paid. Had with cedar planked salmon. Enjoy bottle no. 2 during the 2022 salmon season.
October 2023....still very good but maybe not as fresh as it once was. Pedigree is evident. Smooth as all get out. Enjoyed with Norah & Jess, dining on cedar plank salmon with a maple-soy glaze, was a great combo, as always.

Mar 2024....with Norah while enjoying Norah's homemade moussaka. The match was excellent, as was the wine and the food. Eveything was perfect. Needs at least a half hour to breathe, longer better. Have last one in the next 12 months.

looks like it could go longer, 2020/21 perhaps....winemaker notes that it should last at least 10 years.Drink now (2020)
Dec 21......clearly I drank this at some point because I have an empty bottle. Wish I could remember, hope I liked it!

2017-2021/22 (1 per yr)
Sept 27, 2018...pre-dinner (Gerrtis, Steimlillers, Saconnes)....2 hour decant, really lovely, lots of fruit, smooth & delicious.
April 2019 - Florida at Ann & Georges
Dec 21.....for sure none left. I think I may have drank 2 myself and given one away (to a wine lover I hope). My recollection...was always a good wine but better younger, had more vitality.

bbq 2015 + 2016
Feb 2019....had with eggplant pasta largely because it needed to be consumed....wasn't at first liking it much....strong flavours and alcohol.....but became much more enjoyable after 30 minutes of aeration.....rich, full bodied, complex....happy to have sampled it (don't remember having first bottle..maybe gifted it??).
