Mooie rode kleur, geur en smaak vallen minder op dan vooraf verondersteld. Afdronk redelijk lang, maar niet erg lang en smal. Tannines aanwezig, maar niet overmatig. Er is geen aanwijzing te veronderstellen dat de wijn zich op termijn heel@veel verder in goede richting zal ontwikkelen. — 3 years ago
Good quality - excellent on a daily basis. The wine is made with Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Syrah, Cabernet e some others red grapes. It is medium body and fresh on the palate. The tannin is firm but velvet and is in balance with the fruit. Can drink now: not suitable for ageing.

Vintage 2012 - Meeting my studyfriend Felix 34 years after graduation, that calls for a fine wine - pretty high acidity, beautiful red fruit, good balance, not too complex as we want to talk about our lives, but still interesting. We partnered it with Bavette. - At restaurant De Plantage in Amsterdam. — 9 years ago
5/5 monsier montrachet, la stella della serata rimasta al palo. Lavorazioni e cura della vigna esclusive e maniacali come per il pargolo di un re. Purtroppo ancora troppo giovane si mostra nel suo splendore ma non ancora così eccelso come il chevalier del 2012. Oltre alle note comuni a questi vini una bella balsamicita. Avrà sicuramente una grandissima evoluzione degna del suo rango ma per adesso cede il passo. Comunque sia siamo al 7° cielo nella degna conclusione di una serata indimenticabile — 11 years ago
At Pesach so glassware was hit and miss. Lots of miss.
This is consistently a marvel of high altitude, no toast(steamed)barrel, various wood Nebbiolo.
After 10-15 mins open the nose is like the most intense, ethereal fraises de bois. Intermingled with fine rocks and wood. Bright!
On the palate, it’s redolent of high altitude tiny berries, transparent and lively, gripping your lower front gums with a hint of licorice.
The only issue may be finding the generosity to share it.

This full varietal wine - 100% Nero de Troia - is tinted medium dark ruby. The nose is somewhat muted upon opening, but shows dark fruit - blackberry, plum - laced with an earthy minerality and a whiff of smoke. The palate has the dark fruit up front, and the sip is smooth. Spices liven up the taste, but they do not seem over-oaked. The tannins are well integrated and provide ample food-friendliness without getting in the way of the mouthfeel. The finish is medium-long and the minerals play through to the end. — 4 years ago
Cigna Vicini - 65% Syrah 35% Cabernet Sauvignon blend deep red with pleasant nose. Smooth and well balanced with mouthwatering acids and gentle lingering finish. Layers of flavor - oak & leather in the background with cherry & raspberry with mild spiciness. This blend is becoming one of my favorites from Monte de Oro. — 6 years ago

Had in March 2009.
After a Rousseau Clos de la Roche and a Knoll Loibenberg it didn't come by without being noticed. Golden colour. Still citrusy, graphite, walnut, sulphur, forest floor, curry, tuff. Long flavour, fresh, great drinking quality. Fantastic Italian white wine, they have hardly mistaken a vintage, but they are all different wines.❤️❤️❤️❤️ — 10 years ago
Dreamy is the word that comes to mind as the 2018 Vigna la Miccia Marsala Superiore Oro wafts up with a decadent blend of roasted almonds and hazelnuts, complicated by gingery spice and baked peaches. This opens with a pretty inner sweetness and oily textures that are perfectly offset by notes of spiced citrus, cloves, cedar and a bitter tinge of coffee grounds. It cleans up beautifully, ridiculously long and staining yet still fresh, leaving hints of cocoa and butterscotch to linger on the finish. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024)

50% blend each of estate reserve Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Approachable on opening with dark cherry and some spice on the nose. The palate is earthy with dark cherry, blackberry, and a bit of huckleberry tartness tossed in for mouthwatering effect. There is an underlying earthiness with dried leaves and undergrowth that grows with a moderately long finish. Lots of layers to this. I could mistake this for an old world wine with the exception that this has the California denseness of flavors. — 3 years ago
Cedar-tinged plum and blackberry with a touch of herbs de Provence on the nose. Wide rich mouth feel with second wave of warm berries wrapped in significant tannins. Warm medium finish. — 7 years ago

Estasiato da questa bevuta che mi ha spinto a ricercare maggiori informazioni sull'etichetta in questione che non conoscevo, seppur abbia bevuto più volte il classico Vigna della Congregazione. Leggo quindi "L'Edoardo Valentini dell'Irpinia, solo lui poteva fare un vino così" (Alessio Pietrobattista), e leggo su Tipicamente a firma Paolo De Cristofaro di una sensazione riduttiva-minerale tremendamente affascinante. Tanto basta ❤️ — 11 years ago
