Smooth reds and fruits, one of my favorite wines ever — 10 months ago
A nice big, silky, earthy, fruity Montalcino. No better wine to pair with spaghetti and meatballs with gravy! — 15 days ago
Red fruits, still some tannins, leather, really delicious for price! — 3 months ago
Ruby coloration with some transparency. On the nose, cherry, balsamic, vanilla, leather, crushed rock and earth. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, currants, anise, espresso bean, leather, balsamic, vanilla and chocolate; a nicely layered palate with a medium to long finish. Tannins are still quite present but balanced. — 6 months ago
Raisiny and grape-y nose offers tart and powdered candy notes, white mushroom, schist, light pepper and tea. Dry open of grape-y tartness, bing cherry and lavender petal. Mouth-coating with cranberry-blackberry and black currant, bitters and dates. Great priced ripasso.

2018. Amazing notes of berry before tasting. Couldn’t pinpoint exact flavor but very intense. Interesting flavor.
Was able to get the exact same bottle at Miron in Kingston same vintage. $21.99 discounted to $18.69. Very good but didn’t open up with same fragrance as I Italy. May 28, 2022 with Marc and Tim — a month ago
