I like the concept of this series! A suggestion if you continue on with it is for both you and Fabien (or some other guest) to give your opinion on whether the wine is over or underrated. You could both have queue cards or signs that you hold up at the same time with either "overrated" or "underrated", which gives the added element of being able to have some banter about differing opinions.
Ohhhh thanks for the suggestion!
Good video format. Lot of useable info packed into short form. Look forward to more.
Thank you!
Love this series! Cheers
Hahaha thanks, more to come!
Masseto at $800/bbl, I've not had it either, but Le Volte or le Serre Nuove (Ornellaia) and Guidalberto (Sassacaia) are where the great under rated ST reds are
Nice choices too, there are plenty of others to be found in the sub 30$ category too
Loved this video. Please do one on Brunello di Montalcino producers next!
Thank you. That is a possibility.
I really like the concept and there is some good info packed in here! High yield. I was waiting for Castello dei Rampolla-Sammarco. Another popular wine that I'm curious what you think of.
LOL I love the wine insider joke “high yield”. More of these to come!
I had a few Castello dei Rampolla-Sammarco, great wines :)
That was some great fun to make this 😀
Yes it was, it was fun to edit too heheheh
Love your videos!
I did a wine tasting of Supertuscans last week in London and these my top 5:
1-masseto 2004
2-SASSICAlA 2006
3-Tignanello 2009
4-Ornellaia 2015 & Solaia 2017
We must have a similar taste as I also preferred Tignanello over O&S.. but the vintage factor may have played a role..O&S were probably still too young
Ohhh wow that is a serious, SERIOUS tasting!
Enjoyed this 👍🏽
Thank you!
Now do Napa, hahahah!!! Great video!
Hahhahaha thank you!
Would you recommend the TIGNANELLO ANTINORI 2019? It's pricey @ 320SGD in a restaurant.
Good wine up to you if you want to spend for it
@@drmatthewhorkey Thank you.
love this! agree on most. especially Tignanello. what’s your opinion on Flaccianello? that’s my favourite Tuscan wine. some people don’t put it in the Super Tuscan category though, since it’s 100% Sangiovese.
Loooveeee it!
Fun video Matt. I think the common theme here is price/quality. All of these wines are decent stuff but the elevated prices make us demand more. Being 'blown away' by every bottle of wine we open is a tall ask but experienced drinkers have in their minds an idea of what to expect for the money. I really believe it effects our opinion. Export prices for these wines are steep but they can be hardly any different in Tuscany itself. I remember being in Montalcino and the prices were well and truly aimed at the tourists. The wine is very good but the prices are steep. That's the story for a lot of countries including France and the U.S.A. If you want real underrated gems you have to look under the radar. WT
Italian wine pricing can be funny in USA and sometimes they are better priced here than in Italy.
Hilarious and excellent! I feel the Geremia is under rated - I do get it in good vintages even though I have become sceptical of this entire category!
Thanks Vlad, I haven’t had the Geremia yet… there’s always new stuff to try.
@@drmatthewhorkey Geremia is a Merlot with a bit of Cab from Rocca di Montegrossi. In good vintages I think it may be the best Super Tuscan QPR!
@@VladVexler never heard of that, thnx for the idea
The '16 has a great score and it's only 35 euros.
@@JackRosei it’s more drinkable out of the gate than most serious Super Tuscans, and hits peak at about 10+ years. That, of course, is if you want to drink Tuscan merlot!
My Goal is to try all your underrated wines here - If I can fine them here in Ontario CA- thank you so much !
Good luck and have fun!
Love concept of episode btw it should be “Luce “ instead of “Lucente”. Thx for viedo😁😁
Hahaha thanks. Do you like that wine?
@@drmatthewhorkey At the same price range with Tignanello. Let say I prefer Tignanello.
Depending on your budget, Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Solaia are all great wines. Quite a step above Tignanello. If you have the money, they are not overrated at all IMO. I also like Fotalloro more than Rancia, the older 2006-2007 vintages, haven't tried the younger ones.
Well said, I do think they are nice wines but there are also good, less expensive options.
Argentiera is great!! Prices have creeped up though.. Saffredi is another gem, Messorio, Galatrona are much better buys than a Masseto
agreed... I think you might like this then... ruclips.net/video/qO4tO-HF3dY/видео.html
We need honest and unbiased [ie no vested interest of whatever form in the item being commented] view from an experienced person in the field.
If people do not agree with the view then they can go ahead with their own choice, or buy a bottle to verify themselves.
So, Dr. Bravo!
Thanks for stopping by and the comments. I am a big fan of what you said, people should taste and verify themselves. It was fun to do this episode.
100% agree that Isole e Olena is underrated. Paulo di Marchi makes some spectacular Cepparello and Vin Santo !!!
You’ll see Cepparello in the channel soon😉
@@drmatthewhorkey Woo HOO !!!! Paolo is such a class act !
BTW, we were gonna have my 2000 Tignanello last weekend but it had no fruit left. So disappointed with a wine that has such high esteem. We had the Flacinello instead albeit so much younger.
Masseto costs 1000$ in Germany. Why should I buy this if some of the best Merlots of the world cost about half price? Why should I buy Petrus if La Conseillante get's the same rating? I once drank Chateau Latour, awsome wine! But I can remember dozens of moments I enjoyed wine of this level for a fraction of the price. I remember some video you made about value. And I am straight on your line: I can buy Tignanello for 100$, it's still a blend with Sangiovese. I like it very much. So why should I pay for a Bordeaux blend from Toscana double the price of Chateau Montrose?
Big name wines keep rising in price! Good call on Montrose, what a wine.
What about Flaccianello?
Didn’t come up hahahha but my hot take is that I prefer Vigna del Sorbo
I've had a bit of Tignanello, sassiacaia, and masetto...pretty spendy runnin upto 500 at restauants. How I sold any of these?? Run through see whats in there, huge wine list. I found a 1996 Masetto, its big Merlot. We had it since 97. One of our Brunello fans I gave a deal fer 300. Other wise its a trophy on the wall. But thats how I had the last bit in the bottle. Very famous Super Tuscans,
Allot of em. Its history and geography.
Allot of travel talk with high end clientee too!!
Ahh thanks for this insight!
Do Argentine Malbecs or Napa Cabernets.
;)
@@drmatthewhorkey I've never had Sassicaia but I feel better now having never splurged on it. Tignanello all the way.
Finally one who tells some truth, evidently they haven't bought you yet. All Supertuscans are overrated, especially that little wine called Tignanello. Scores and prizes paid handsomely by buying self-styled experts for pale hyperalcoholic imitations of the great Bordeaux. For 100 euro per bottle you can also buy it in presumptuous when so want to imitate the Bordeaux prices are really ridiculous.
They are getting pricey although I think there are a lot of Tuscan wines with these profiles that sell for a lot less
I agree! I’m from Italy and I love the wines from Barolo that has nothing to do with copying france 😊 😊
@@drmatthewhorkey please name some. Thx
After watching this , I just heading right to wine store and buy a case of tignanello🤣🤣🤣
Wow a whole case??!!
the prices are missing
You can check out wine-searcher.com to find the prices in your area
super episode! i didn't like solaia 1 bit, love all from isole-olena, ornellaia was tops but the creme-de-la creme was 1996 MASSETO, infinitely superior to shitty petrus 1976...
Ahhhhhh 96 Masseto!! Niceee
would like to see an overrated/underrated bit on Piedmont
😮😮😮
Masseto is made by Tenuta dell'Ornellaia… however technically yes, Lodovico Antinori started it.
Yes I made a mistake when I put a text up
Sassicaia is NOT overrated. It is overpriced!
That was my point, bc of the price :)
All the Super Tuscans are overpriced.
😮😮😮
Don't consume and review.
Bad look!
???
love and agreed with most
Thanks!
