Possibly one of the finest wines I've tasted. Bold statement but this crushed a Sassacaia I had a week ago. Decanted about an hour and got mouthfuls of red berry, vanilla, leather, and silk. In 5 years...wow! — 8 years ago

9.1

Incredible potential with beautiful balance. Black fruit with a spot of white pepper. Nice oak of leather and cigar ash. Not ready yet but will try it in 5 years and probably be blown away. Decanted for 90 minutes and still tight. — 8 years ago

Very balanced and smooth fruit forward for an Italian. Not overly strong but opens slightly with air. Hints of pepper and spice. Raspberry flavors. Medium plus tannins worked well with bistecca. — 7 years ago

Huge with white pepper and spicy fruit. Leather and anisette. Smoothed out over an hour and turned into a big wine I would pair with a spicy hearty meal. — 7 years ago

9.0

Apricots and honey on a complex nose with stone fruit, nuts, botrytis, petrol and astringency on the taste. Unusual but interesting wine with years to go. Decanted for an hour. — 8 years ago
