This classic Sangiovese comes from the family estate of opera singer Andrea Bocelli

a subtly bretty hint of farmhouse funk and a touch of meat stew with a great deal of bayleaf

If you want the real thing here is an example

I have drunk a lot of this vintage of Pichon over the years and it remains one of my absolute favorite Médocs from this lovely year

Best in 2018

Paul Jaboulet, Hermitage, La Maison Bleue 2016 Sherry This classic Sangiovese comes from94 CellarTracker The nose is initially light, opening to reveal seductive black cherry and blueberries, sizzling bacon and peppery smoked meats, licorice, violets, cigar wrapper, smoky barbecue, sweet incense The palate continues on with confit blackberry, light spice and ground coffee. Pretty, powerful and ripe, with lovely purity and lifted freshness. A coating of finely milled, dusty tannins signals further development to come. In a great spot. 11
