2015 Tasting Notes: What a Tuscan olive oil! This is a sophisticated oil for the connoisseur, with a complex aroma of soft and loud notes held in equal balance. On the nose, there is a hint of cinnamon and eucalyptus. The taste is bitter, green, and spicy - like taking a healthy bite of a raw artichoke heart - and as tannic as a big structured wine.

The color is unreal, like an emerald; the cut of the bottle emphasizes this jewel-like quality. Their best in many years.
