2016 vintage. Last tasted 02.07.24 (9.4). Still medium-heavy body but the alcohol/flavors enduring a bit of angst currently. Hot alcohol hits front palate, then fruit, then 18-wheeler tannins. Tasting as if it fell apart and needs a magic wand to meld it all back together. Still, fairly impressive tasting the holy trinity simultaneously, yet separately, and with unexpected composure given the lack of quality pavement for this 1974 De Tomaso Pantera. 01.20.25. — 5 months ago

Killer nose. Deep purple fruits, spice and lovely minerality. Palate is concentrated. High toned with terrific grip and minerality. Lovely purity. Great length. Stupid good for a dolcetto. Awesome ripe tannins. Super pure. Wow. Sappy. — 6 years ago

Nose is heaven. Tar roses earth. Some anise. Palate is medium density cherries with great acidity. Finish is so long and juicy. Licorice just coats the palate and lips. Really lingers. Wow. Bought from Fass Selections. ... great texture. Amazing internal aromatics. Black cherry liquor and licorice and chicory and spice. Amazing. Sweet licorice finish. Love this. — 7 years ago

Nice barbera, a grape I don’t always love. Quite savory, with some berry to balance. Some dusty tannins and maybe a slight hint of heat. Nice acid on the finish. — 9 months ago

Vintage 2016 | Luca di Tomaso | undoubtly the most difficult wine I drank this year, lovely difficulties. Spicy cherries in nose, a tannin giant, leave this wine in the cellar for the next 3-5 years. To curb this I put it in the decanter 7+ hours. It tastes rich. Rich and stubborn. Such a promise for the future. Nice minerality. Paired with a spicy Texas stew with beef, beans and mais. ❤️ the SAGRANTINO wines. — 2 years ago

Insane nose. Such an elegant vintage for this. Gorgeous nose of spice and licorice, smoke and oolong tea. Loads of minerals and so inviting. Citrus rind as well. Also melting road tar. Palate is juicy, vibrant and balanced. Terrific cherry fruit and such finesse and refinement. Spice, mid season cherries on the finish. Long finish. Soft tannins and such nice energy. — 6 years ago
