Ceccherini Cristiano

9.6

Re-tasted after longer than 10 years
I had a great memory and it hasn't disappointed me at all
Still keeping all the primary fruit, but adding layers of complexity
Very persistent
One of the few bottles from the vintage 2002 in Italy that really shines.... I recall an extraordinary Monfortino 2002, but not much more
First vintage nonetheless of 100% cabernet franc
Bordeaux in Tuscany
I love it — 5 days ago

Absolutely great, aged perfectly
Personality, length, complexity
A marvelous example of Clare Riesling from an iconic winemaker — 13 days ago

A lot more character than the Elizabeths.
No much lanolin yet, but a searing minerality that I reckon is peculiar to the Lovedale vineyard. This should be the vineyard planted by Maurice O'Shea in his last few years of life. Again, though, my feelings are telling me that this wine won't get much better than this, which is not an issue, we just drink it. No stress. — 20 days ago

Most definitely my favorite champagne rose, no doubt about
Ever changing nose
When still cold felt like a white and ended up being a red when at room temperature
Super long, complex and amazingly easy to enjoy — 5 days ago

9.1

Well defined spectrum of citrus, lemongrass and hints of lanolin that we don't find yet in the other two wines of the night. Quite long after taste and lots of fun. IMO the 2007s aren't the best, but they are good now, they just lack that plus to become supergood. — 20 days ago

Elegant, good, but lacking something to become very good
Maybe personality? — 6 days ago

9.2

600 bottles produced.
Dry, but very intense nose that hints easily of honey, rose, herbs and all the Moscato spectrum. Intensely and deliciously
Quite long and so unique — 9 days ago

9.3

I've always liked Monte Carbonare
It's at peak
It is not a common wine
It's long and complex, but I reckon it's a drink for someone who looks for that something more — 16 days ago
