Tua Rita, Rosso Toscana IGT, Giusto di Notri 2009 (1.5L) Petit Sirah A cork 20+ years old94 points Wine Advocate The 2009 Giusto di Notri boasts tons of power and sheer energy. Dark cherries, plums, tobacco and incense are all wrapped around a powerful core of fruit in this expressive, beautifully delineated wine. The 2009 impresses for its length, radiance and fine overall balance. Floral notes laced with a hint of sweet rose petals add brightness and lift on the finish.
