Decanted for about 2 hours. Broken cork that seemed dried out and I couldn’t get out of the bottle. Filtered the wine into the decanter.

Wine had the classic Valdicava aromas that are unique and alluring. Almost like a Sangiovese / Cabernet blend and mix of dark fruit, cocoa. I can’t describe as much as I can always recognize it.

Wine was very good. Not the best expression of this wine but solid.

Delicious. Finishing bottle up with Sunday breakfast. Still has orange blossom and brightness to it.

Smooth and with a good sweetness to it. But not sugary. — 4 days ago

Wow. Just wow

It starts off kinda like a deep and dark Rhône wine with a sweetness and kirsch like flavor but then in the palate it just explodes about 4-5 second later and there is a whole different level of expression.

Wine was best at about 1.5-2 hour decant and actually better without food. — 18 days ago

Gorgeous.

Solid bubbles that quickly give way to toasted brioche flavors and nice rich flavor.

You can taste a bit of the dosage and sweetness at the end but it’s not overwhelming.

Really smooth and great way to start dinner — 19 days ago

Delicious. This had a lot of fruit while still maintaining depth and a bit of complexity.

Tannins were present but not too strong.

Overall very smooth — 16 days ago
