Aromas of currants and blackberries with hints of flowers. Full body, wonderfully ripe tannins and a mineral and spice undertone to the fabulous, rich fruit. One for the cellar. Drink or hold.

The 2016 Carmignano Riserva Il Circo Rosso is fabulous. Succulent dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and plum are all woven together in a deep, beautifully expressive Tuscan red that delivers the goods big time. The Cabernet Sauvignon, a signature of Carmignano, comes through nicely. Moreover, I see more finesse than in the past.

Review
The 2017 Carmignano Riserva Il Circo Rosso is superb. I am quite taken with the wine’s balance. The Circo Rosso is a sumptuous wine, and yet it retains plenty of Sangiovese translucence in its red berry fruit profile. Cedar, tobacco, dried flowers, mint and anise build into the long, beautifully persistent finish.

Review
The 2018 Carmignano Il Circo Rosso Riserva starts out a bit coy in the glass, slowly revealing a delicate yet deep bouquet of cherry sauce, ginger and autumnal spice offset by a hint of sour citrus. There’s an undeniable elegance to its velvety textures and polished red and black fruits, perfectly balanced by brisk acids and a coating of sweet wood tannin that forms toward the close. This tapers off long, with medium structure and a pleasant inner sweetness and spice that reminds me of a holiday rum cake. It’s really stunning. The Il Circo Riserva is a blend of 70% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc that was refined for eighteen months in a combination of new and used barriques.

The 2019 Carmignano Riserva Il Circo Rosso lifts from the glass like a spice box full of dried Lowers, allspice, cloves, lavender and rum-soaked cherries. It's elegant to the core, with a silken textural wave of dark red fruits nicely contrasted by sour citrus and pretty inner Lorals that cascade across the palate. The 2019

Lots of glazed dark cherries here, as well as mulberries, vanilla and spice box. Full body, ripe, round tannins and a fruit-driven finish. Drink now.

Review
Fresh-toned red plums, berries, spices and hint of flowers and vanilla dialed into the nose. This is restrainedly generous and plush with a mouthful of silky, immaculate tannins that linger to the finish with the berry fruit. Modern and really well-made. Drink or hold.

Review
A very ripe and rich expression with some vanilla spices and chocolate that help cover up the jammy berries. Kirsch, ripe plums and currants extend to a rich, flavorful palate with generous sweet fruit and high acidity. Slightly warming finish. A bit overripe this year. Drink now.
