I tried a Brunello a few years back that I absolutely loved that I didn't get the name of, and have been chasing the dragon ever since. I found it in this bottle. Incredibly flavorful and bright fruit flavors, hint of tannins, not overly sweet at all. — 4 years ago

7.0

If you like higher alcohol content wines (this is 14%), you might like this, but it's not for me. The alcohol taste overwhelmed any fruitiness. It was better after airing out a bit, and honestly a bit smoother a day later. — 6 years ago

Wonderful wine. A little bracing when first opened, but much smoother after that. Deep berry, smoky flavors, tart, very full-bodied. I usually prefer cab-heavy Bordeaux wines, but this was great. — 4 years ago

Not very full-bodied, tannic and a bit bitter when just opened. Much better on the second day. Very fruity. I wouldn't pursue it to buy again, but it was a decent table wine. — 5 years ago

Experienced the same bitter whiff as others have said upon first opening, but a nice dark berry blend taste after aerating. Deep red color. — 6 years ago
