An ok introduction to Montrachet. If you're already familiar, don't bother. — 9 years ago

Fantastic. Somewhat pale but encompasses all of what's good about earthy but refined Italian reds. — 9 years ago

Went to a wine shop that used to stock Yume, a fantastic Montepulciano d'Abruzzo, and they recommended this. Got home and figured out they don't know the difference between a wine from Montepulciano and a wine of Montepulciano. Lol. Not as good as a good Monte but a decent wine nevertheless. Glad I only bought two bottles. — 10 years ago

Ok for a wine you'll gulp with pizza. Not promising anything it can't deliver though. — 9 years ago

8.5

Mellow and soft at the start followed by tannins on the finish that give the wine some complexity. Not sure how it would be on its own but a fun Chianti with Italian food. — 10 years ago

Decent amount of structure for an inexpensive wine. — 9 years ago

Decent acidity but light tannins make for a flat finish. Still, drinkable and refined for its price range. Definitely worth drinking. — 9 years ago

Wine is an adventure and this bottle taught me that a 1er Cru in Burgundy is not the same as a 1er Cru in Bordeaux. Great wine nevertheless. Decanted it -- unnecessarily -- and regretted it towards the end of the bottle as it started to fall apart. I'd buy it again and drink it out of the bottle. — 10 years ago
