STEPHEN TANZER 91 "Bright dark red. Sexy aromas of tangy red berries, Oriental spices, espresso and flowers. Then creamy but very fresh on the palate, with expressive, very pure flavors of raspberry and strawberry. The smooth, long finish boasts lovely sweetness and verve. This wine also strikes me as being less massive than some past vintages."

the 2006, or a more obvious, immediate wine like the 2007. Instead, it reveals its charms only reluctantly. Layers of fruit hide beneath a powerful wall of tannin. The wine remains intensely mineral and equally primary, with little in the way of aromatic development. It is a shame to taste this today, as the wine clearly needs a number of years before it begins showing its true pedigree. Readers in search of immediate gratification should probably pass. Those in search of fine, cellar worthy Chianti Classico will adore the 2008 Rancia. Clean, saline notes frame the exquisite finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2023."

San Giusto is a reference-point estate that encapsulates so many of the artisan values that make the best wines of Tuscany so appealing. The Baroncole remains San Giusto’s least consistent wine, but all of the other reds are flying very high these days. The sweet San Giusto is an extreme wine, so it is only natural that some years are better than others.
