Pauillac 1er Grand Cru Classe (High-shoulder)

Mahogany core with deep brick rim. The nose is actually better than I anticipated with some dusty black fruits, cedar a touch of game, but it certainly lacks vigour and cohesion.

Santa Lucia - Pierluigi Branca
*** BIG BOTTLE OF 5,0 LITERS ***

Chianti, 1976 – Santa Lucia (Pierluigi Branca)

Presented here in an impressive 5.0 litre format, this bottle represents both the historic character of 1970s Chianti and the celebratory tradition of large-format releases. …
