Tua Rita Giusto Di Notri 2013 750

WA 94 The 2014 Giusto di Notri is an extremely well-made wine that has most certainly exceeded vintage expectations by a long measure. The blend is Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc with a smaller part Merlot. Fruit was harvested 20 days later in 2014 compared to previous averages and the wine was aged in barrique for 22 months. This is another example of a great Tuscan red made in 2014 that has fleshed out beautifully in barrel. The dry extract here is more than 37 grams per liter. It's impossible not to notice and admire the rich thickness and textural importance of this wine. Black fruit, plum and spice fuels a luscious finish.- Monica Larner The 2014 Giusto di Notri plump, juicy and delicious, with terrific palate presence and depth. Ripe red cherry, plum, mocha and torrefection notes flesh out. Sweet herb, tobacco, licorice and menthol add aromatic nuance. I would prefer to drink the 2014 sooner rather than later given its mid-weight structure.- Antonio Galloni Love tasting this with a real sexy character plus currants, hints of spice and cinnamon. Full to medium body. Ripe tannins. Integrated and fine. Savory acidity. 80% cabernet sauvignon, 10% cabernet franc, and 10% merlot. Drink in 2018 but hard to wait.- James Suckling
