Quite deep ruby garnet core with garnet rim . Aromatic and quite deeply spicy on the nose with liquorice , dried spices , red cherry , red plum , rose . On the palate this is quite intense and tannic, red cherry , red plum , saline with smoky , tobacco , liquorice hints . Firm tannins with fresh acidity , sweet spice and ripe red fruit . Good length , this still is pretty young and needs more time . Better in another 5-10 years and will last well a further 10-15 — 2 days ago

Tart cherry and perhaps strawberry. Some deeper notes, but not too strong. Light color. More fruit on the nose than in the mouth. — a month ago

Mature but still with legs. Earthy, mushrooms, weighty. Solid but a bit underperforming for me. — 3 months ago

Really well made, harmonious wine. Balanced and polished nothing really sticks out but at the same time it remains very drinkable. Enjoyed with Vitello tonato in the sun — 10 days ago

Spectacular wine. Best to let sit 90+ minutes before drinking. Evolved nicely over several hours. Balance of richness and mature but lively fruit. Will be even better in 3-5 years. — 15 days ago

Opened and decanted two hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1997 “Vigneto Brich Ronchi” pours a deep, hazy garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: Blackberry, Morello cherry, bruised strawberry, dried roses, tar, leather, potting soil, and subtle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long and savory. This is in a lovely spot. Drink now through 2027. — 2 months ago
