The 2013 Giusto di Notri is wonderfully vibrant and pulsating in the glass. Blue and purplish hued fruits, spices, mint and licorice are some of the notes that flesh out. Delineated and beautifully nuanced throughout, the 2013 speaks to understatement and finesse. In this vintage, the Merlot is down and the Cabernet Sauvignon is up, which, along with the personality of the year, yields a tense, vibrant wine endowed with superb energy. The purity of the fruit here is striking. Stylistically, the 2013 does a great job of reconciling the natural opulence of Suvereto with attractive elements of freshness from the cool nights that defined the late harvest.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2025
The 2013 Giusto di Notri is a proud, proud, proud achievement. This is an enormously profound red wine that raises a noble and majestic banner that flies high above the enological coast of Tuscany. The blend is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller components of Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Merlot currently clocks in at 10% and that quota has been reduced compared to past vintages. The wine is aged in equal parts new and neutral oak. This is a gorgeous wine that surprises most of all thanks to the unexpected nature of its fine and delicate floral aromas. Yes, there’s plenty of black fruit and spice at its core. That’s par for the course when it comes to a wine of this important extraction, intensity and power. But that flirtatious, perfumed hint of blue flower and rose bud is its most memorable feature in my opinion. This is a very special wine.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2030
