JS99: Black cherry black truffle and bark. Fresh earth and pine cone. It?s medium-bodied with extremely integrated tannins that are so vivid and so pure like essence of Sangiovese. Strength with balance.
VM98+: The 2021 Le Pergole Torte is a real stunner. Rich deep and beautifully layered in the glass the 2021 is captivating from the very first taste. In bottle this is quite a bit more reticent than it was as a barrel sample which in my view is a positive. Even so readers should be prepared to cellar the 2021 for a number of years at a minimum. - Antonio Galloni
