1/2 hr to decant still goodThe drinking window for the 2009 Campo alla Sughera Bolgheri Superiore Arnione is from the year of bottling through 2024

2009 vintage

still drinking well, but needs air and time to open. Rich dark cherry fruit, lots of structure with earth, leather and a hint of tobacco. Well balanced, long finish.

2009 vintage

In a good spot at the moment, very slight bricking. Beautiful front to back, fully integrated. Drink now thru 2024

2009 vintage

Still drinking with both nose and body.

2009 vintage

Cedar wood berry on the nose. Decanted and opened up fantastically. Had with clams casino and veal chop Milanaise. Mild tannins dark cherry with a hint of smoke. Drank very well over the course of the meal. For the bang for the book a great value. And that doesn’t mean it’s ok for the price it was actually extremely enjoyable....

2009 vintage

Dark, well structured wine with pleasant dark berry fruit, some cigar box and a touch of toasty oak. Took hours to open up and held steady for two days.

2009 vintage

Excellent wine. Allow three plus to open.

2009 vintage

Sorry that I am out of this one and that I didn't buy more some years ago. Wonderful deep fruit and great for just drinking but goes great with any food, as well.

2008 vintage

Just kept improving and improving with more age......as good as any of the top 3 big-gun Bolgheri producers that we've been lucky enough to taste (you know who they are!). Classic notes of balsamic and red soil in the background highlight the touch of sweet oak, black and wild berry fruit, cassis and cigarbox that make this delicious and complex. Structural tannins are sweet and round, everything is integrated nicely, and fruit is still vibrant and fresh throughout the long, …

Amazing PNP QRP

2009 vintage

well balanced. Relatively high acid makes it excellent with food, but quite enjoyable for quaffing. There still is backbone, but this no longer is a powerful wine. Instead, it is sophisticated and lithe.

2008 vintage

Oh, what a deal this is. Load up if you see it again.

2009 vintage

No formal note, a rich affair with a strong nose and a longer finish, solid QPR

2009 vintage

Nice blend brings flavors of blue and red fruit which softens into a nice mouth feel of mellow earthiness.

2008 vintage

Fresh and vibrant, showing ever more complexity with time.....can compete with any of the superstar Bolgheri's, just wish there was some in the US....

2009 vintage

This is delicious; it still possesses good tannins, acidity, and body, and goes well with pizza. Great deal at $25 from WTSO.

2009 vintage

Left this sit in the glass for 2 hours before consuming it over 2 more hours. Consumed w/out food. This is really in a good place. Great finish that makes you go back for more 30 seconds later. There's a slight (pleasant) hint of graphite and nicely developed tannins. Medium+ bodied. Easily a rebuy if I come across any again.

2009 vintage

Similar to last note, was very good, drink now. www.winelx.com

2008 vintage

The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like espresso, coffee, toast and chocolate. The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity. It smells like blackberry and black currant (cassis).

2009 vintage

really nice Super Tuscan.

2009 vintage

This took some getting into. Only the second ever wine I have taken a chunk off the glass just getting the cork out. Viva the Screwcap revolution. This is a more complex blend: 40% Cab Sav, 20% Cab Franc, 20% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot. In keeping with its status it also gets shown a bit more oak love: 80% new French oak. Despite the extra two years, this is a deeper, more purple hue than the younger wine (the …

2009 vintage

I shan't post detailed tasting notes, but say that this wine is a fabulous bargain....load up if you have access to it. The community rating of 92 is accurate. Excellent QPR @$25 from WTSO. Back up the truck.

2009 vintage

Right up there with Sassicaia & Ornellia, just keeps getting better and better. Wish we could find more in the US.

2009 vintage

Full-bodied and bold, tasty red with a good amount of fruit. Recall dark fruit, spice, and carob making way to some emerging leather and coffee notes after some time open. Sweet velvety tannins, medium light acidity, and a moderately lingering finish. Had this over two nights, showed best on 1st night with a short decant.

2009 vintage

Lush, structured wine. PnP

2009 vintage

This is what I love about many Super Tuscans. This Bordeaux blend straddles the old and new worlds. Fruit forward with plum and Bing cherry, mid-weight, but with a touch of the earthiness found in old world wines. A hint of eucalyptus and some nice depth on the back end complete a delightful wine well worth the $30 paid.

2008 vintage

We had this wine in an Italian restaurant in Dublin and it was an amazing wine! Multi-layered, creamy-buttery finish, full bodied with really silky tannins. Ready to drink right now and could last several years still.

2009 vintage

Consistently terrific as we get down to the final bottles of this vintage. Still improving, and will need a wake when we hit the last one. Fruit remains fresh and vibrant, tannins still have some grip, but are silky smooth, and the finish still long a memorable. What a terrific Super-T.

2009 vintage

fruit forward and rich. nice depth, well refined tannin

2009 vintage

well balanced, strong fruit, tons of structure, well integrated tannin. Drinks like a left bank Bordeaux, which is to be expected since it has that composition, but it has a brightness that often is missing in its French counterpart. Drinking very well right now, probably close to peak.

2008 vintage

Deep, brooding purple-black in glass, rich aromas of wild cherry. Flavors come in waves of wild cherry, baked blackberry compote, tar and cedarbox, with subtle touches of leather and wet black earth. Complex, delicious and finishes long, framed by soft but present tannins. A gorgeous Bolgheri Superiore.

2009 vintage

A nose of silky red fruit and spice, dark garnet in color. A smooth full bodied Super Tuscan red blend with raspberry, cherry, blueberry, chocolate and vanilla on finish. Still young, decant, a steal under $30. www.winelx.com

2008 vintage

Tasty and well balanced. 50 % Cabernet, 20% Cab Franc, 20% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot = 100% delicious. Paid $30 @ WL. For that money this was a nice buy. Possibly not enough depth to justify the $70 retail though. Nice cherry notes, with a bit of spice on the backend made this a delicious pairing for Buratta and lasagna. Wish I had more. Seems to have hit a nice age.

2008 vintage

Kinda meh, priced about right at $30. Retail price is insane. Nose is has dusty dried spices, fresh flowers, and a hint of mossy forest. In the mouth wine is mostly on the dry side with strong tannins and a vegetable overtone. Finishes a bit more sharp than my usual liking.

2008 vintage

Wine Adventure - Alto-Adige, Valpolicella, Soave, Bolgheri, Barbaresco & Barolo; 9/11/2013-9/20/2013 (Italy) : Nose of wet earth and black cherry. Texture is light, but the bit of Petit Verdot adds some substance. The palate has plum and black cherry in front with a short bit of dark chocolate on the finish. Tannins are strong and dusty with medium high acidity. Probably will mature and bring the tannins and acidity into balance, but needs to have more mid-palate, complexity and finish …
