The red wine Il Blu IGT, vintage 2001 from the winery Brancaia has been rated in 2015 with 96 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Sangiovese from the region Tuscany in Italy.
Beginning of ripeness, rich bouquet, herbs, some syrup, some leather, juniper, damp stone. On the palate with an almost sweetish fullness, but also with a powerful core, lots of vapour and a dense texture, full-bodied, with very ripe tannins at the transition from astringency to fullness, great tension, which resolves very juicily and homogeneously mild, long fruity finish, very intense tactile-mineral.
More about the tastingRich, impenetrable ruby-purple; enormously dense nose, full of dark blackberries and elderberries, fine chocolate tones in the background; very juicy and concentrated on the palate at the same time, crisp fruit, lots of fine-grained tannin on the finish.
