A most classic of vintages for the wine. A dream glass for a lover of complex Rhône wines — a year ago

In 1877, Illario and Leopoldo Ruffino laid the foundations of their dream to make Italian wines from the heart of Tuscany. Medium Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit and earthy spice. On the palate black cherry, blackberry and plum flavors with tobacco, pepper and earthy cedar notes. Full-bodied, well balanced soft drying tannins on a smooth medium+ finish. Grab some Italian food and enjoy the great value wine. — 4 years ago

Citrus forward with notable viscosity in a way so many skin contact wines could only dream of. — 7 months ago

Wow! This is amazing. Great nose of dried flowers, red fruit, dried fruit, leather. Palate is more of the same. Prunes, flower, cherries, leather. Such a long finish. Maybe best CA Nebbiolo. Will 100 percent seek out more. — 7 months ago

This is a wine lovers dream… It is very old, it is hedonistic, it is rare and simply put, a beautiful wine. The bottle was properly decanted and aerated for a couple of hours. The color is bright gold; initially, the nose is intense with an acrylic paint scent dominating. However the nose evolves into intense sexy notes of bees wax, honey, butter scotch, and mead wine that are just captivating; can keep smelling for hours on end. On the pallet it is more beautiful, if that is even possible, with preserved apricot, creme brûlée and an orange marmalade like acidity. It is very round, rich, sweet but never overdone. It flows on the pallet like the sweetest memory… And you just don’t want it to fade. — 4 years ago
