Joe DAscoli

Opened this up and the cork was perfect

Aromas out of the bottle were wild. Honey and orange blossom. Almost dessert wine like flavors on nose

Pour the wine into the glass and it’s dark dark yellow. Like 30 year aged Sauternes dark. Not good sign

First sip - ugh. It’s bad. Not just oxidized but tainted.

😩. Alas. Hoping the other two bottles in the cellar did better — a day ago

Delicious wine bringing some Italian depth

Opens up nicely with a little airtime and has great grip to stand up to a Wagyu steak. — 22 days ago

Very dense and structured wine

Solid fruit and paired well with steak.

1-2 hours airtime on decanter absolutely helped. — a month ago

This was really good.

Great flavor with raspberry and other red fruits

Solid acidity and freshness.

Little airtime did well but didn’t. Red more than 30 mins to an hour.

Needed a solid 2+ hours of airtime but then it was a great wine. Tension and fruit. The petit Verdot def does something here — 16 days ago
