Tasting notes
A key vintage in the story of Testamatta, from a seriously impressive, concentrated year in Tuscany, excellent quality, intense, late harvest with full ripeness. Intense and layered with liqourice and cassis notes, tobacco, rosemary and underbrush spices, with orange peel and fig on the finish. It's delicious - and one of the last Testamatta wines made in this concentrated style with swagger, so a fascinating one to compare with the more recent years. By this point Bibi had converted to organic production, as of the 2008 vintage. Great persistency.

About the producer
Based just outside Florence, Bibi Graetz is something of a maverick in the Tuscan wine scene. Working with old vineyards of indigenous grapes around Chianti, he produces intense wines classified as IGT Toscana; not fitting neatly in either the Super Tuscan or Chianti camp.
