First experience with Colore.
I've had the Testamatta a few times, so was very eager to try Colore.
Enjoyed this at Roaming Goat in SF.
Gave it a decant and it was approachable out the gate, I get the feeling 2020 Super Tuscans are a little more approachable earlier than the 2019s, given similar experience with Tignanello.
Proceeded to enjoy over the following hour, where this was thoroughly enjoyed.
Picked up notes of red cherry, blueberry, rosemary, some other fresh herbs that I can't put my finger on, maybe some strawberry as well?
Acidity is solid and enjoyable, tannins aren't too angular.
This will definitely benefit from time and likely get better, but it's already enjoyable… wouldn't call it "too young" (I only reserve that term for wines that just aren't enjoyable at all in the current stage).
92+ points.

Just had the 2020 this past weekend. Felt it was a bit closed but opened up fast (45 mins or so). Really approachable and was a favorite amongst my non wine drinking friends. Agree it will only get better.
