This was an awesome Malbec and went great with our Italian meal. It followed a Sassicaia and held its ground well. Full bodied and smooth as silk. Delicious — 10 months ago
One of my favorite Private Editions and sadly, my last dram from my only bottle. IIRC, these were finished in Sassicaia barrels. — 2 years ago
If Burgundy is the pennacle of Pinot Noir… Pinot Noir by the creator of Sassicaia from The Argentine Patagonia is its evil twin… That is what’s in my glass. This is the entry level 2014 and it is mirroring some of the Premier Cru Burgundy’s I’ve tried in the past... Cheers! — a year ago
Out of Sassicaia so had to settle for this instead - tough! 🙄
Have to say, equally good. Big, dark fruits, a little earthy and chocolatey. — 2 years ago

Delectable - this is the Riserva. Dining at Do Forni in Venice which won a Grand Award for its Wine List from Wine Spectator. They have amazing verticals of Cuvées like Sassicaia, Solaia, Gaja, Tignanello etc…and, of course, Biondi Santi. I was hoping to pick a Soldera but only a magnum left at a hideous price. An aged tawny rim, tinge of orange. Burnt orange peel and Georgie thought a note of rubber. An Animale/Gamey note which didn’t detract. Dried cherry, loamy notes like the previous night’s Salvioni. This is Brunello royalty which is ridiculously long lived. At 19 years of age this is infanticide for Biondi Santi. We visited the winery about 6 years ago where I bought a 2001 which hasn’t even entered its drinking window yet. Medium plus tannins. This was a special treat. — a year ago
