The red wine Il Blu IGT, vintage 2003 from the winery Brancaia has been rated in 2015 with 95 Falstaff points. It is a wine made from the grape variety Sangiovese from the region Tuscany in Italy.
Herbal and savoury, pine conifer. Not with the freshness of a cooler year, but highly endowed with flavours. Round and full on the palate, with grainy tannins that are already losing their tension. However, it does not come across as clumsy - despite the low acidity - the alcohol is perfectly integrated, dense and compact in the centre of the palate, with a closed finish. Impressive wine in its savoury density, to chew on. Will grow-up for a long time and correct prejudices against the 2003 vintage.
