An excellent wine, especially at the price (if you can find it). Lovely bouquet. Hints of black truffle, rose, and dark cherries with a long, silky, and satisfying finish. — 20 days ago

I am sooo impressed with this. Granted, we bought and brought it right from the winery (stored in their cellar for all these years); but, for me, this has been unlike any older vintage I have had to date. It was so smooth and elegant and still so complex. It kept evolving and shifting in just the short time we spent together (from an initial nose that hinted at age to toasted almond to a hint of Port to snapped tree branches) and left me wondering who it really is—what it was in its prime—and, inevitably, wanting more. — 17 days ago

Citrusy and acidic. Needs food. Solid value. — a month ago

@Delectable this is the Donna Liu. First vintage of Rampolla’s 100% merlot. Hints of a Pomerol but more fruit forward embedded with some cassis hints. Good tannic backbone which proves the best is yet to come. Castello dei Rampolla rocks! — 3 days ago

Also excellent. Tighter, darker, than the Monsanto, but just as good. More earthy. — 6 days ago

Raised in ‘cocciopesto’ which is an amphora kind of barrel based on clay and lime. Very fruit forward, soft tannins. Way better than I expected. Good job!

Heavy oak & fruity wine. Deep color & intense aromas of bruised berries, baking spices & ground coffee. Full mouthfeel with thick tannins and a lingering finish. — 8 days ago

Oh Yeah!! 100% Super Tuscan Merlot. Mature red fruit and plum aromas and flavors. Faint hints of tobacco and cola. Soft and silky. Dark garnet color with some purple hues. This one has aged beautifully. — 15 days ago
