The incredibly rare and legendary 2000 vintage and a Montepulciano that’s simply in a league of its own! It took some time in the decanter to shed an initial funk and whiff of VA which had me worried but ultimately did, and showed fabulously. There’s an alluring “wildness” to this wine that’s just so intriguing. It’s incredibly complex, layered with aromas of dried red fruit, game, exotic spice, coffee beans, violets and a menthol freshness. Time in bottle has added elegance and detail and the palate is unbelievably silky with a finish that keeps on going. Special wine. — 14 days ago

Major decant needed. Nose is closed on open.
As it opens some lovely herbal notes.

Palate is clean. Tight. Closed.
As it opens tight cherry. Gorgeous.

Much better on day 2. delicious licorice. Fresh cherry fruit. Nose is blasting. Hand crushed mid season cherries. Spice. Roses. Some chocolate on the finish.

Either wait 5 years or decant 5 hours.

Bought from fass selections. — 3 years ago

Has a light fragrance of spice and dark berries. Drinks smoothly and is light on the palate, while having some body and having a nice jammy feel and flavors!
Definitely worth the $20-$25 from Costco for the big 3L bottle!! — 3 months ago

Dark fruit. No sign of age with this one. Grippy tannins still present. Nicely balanced. Hello weekend. — 2 years ago
