I'vd had The Mascot 2018 a number of occasions. The wine is simply "Fantastic." It is delicate yet bold with red fruit characteristics. Yet you find this simplicity about it, delicate and soft to the palate.

Fontodi 2011 Flaccianello della Pieve Toscana IGT – Tuscany, Italy
97 Points Wine Spectator • 95 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate • 95 Points James Suckling • 94 Points Vinous
#14 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2014
The Fontodi 2011 Flaccianello della Pieve is an exceptional Super Tuscan red wine from the renowned Fontodi estate in Panzano in Chianti, Tuscany, Italy. Ranked #14 on Wine Spectator's Top 100 Wines of 2014, this remarkable vintage showcases the richness, elegance and aging potential that have made Flaccianello one of Italy's most celebrated 100% Sangiovese wines. Sourced from Fontodi's organically farmed vineyards in the prestigious Conca d'Oro area, the 2011 vintage combines extraordinary concentration with the distinctive character of Tuscany's celebrated terroir.
The 2011 Flaccianello opens with captivating aromas of ripe blackberry, blueberry, dark plum and red cherry, complemented by layers of violet, sweet spice, licorice, roasted coffee and truffle. The palate is rich and beautifully concentrated, delivering lush dark fruit, subtle chocolate, balsamic herbs and refreshing citrus undertones. Silky, velvety tannins and vibrant acidity create exceptional harmony, leading to a long, complex finish with lingering notes of menthol, savory spice and earthy minerality.
Crafted from 100% organically grown Sangiovese, the 2011 Flaccianello was aged for 24 months in new French oak barrels followed by two months in large oak casks, developing remarkable depth, richness and refined texture. With outstanding critical acclaim and a prestigious Wine Spectator Top 100 ranking, this mature Super Tuscan offers collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to experience one of Fontodi's most highly regarded vintages.
