Good right out of the bottle and better after 90 minutes of airtime.

Chianti Classico Tasting @ Ai Fiori 4/27/26 — 4 months ago

The Don Rolando bottling was a tough act to follow, but this Cab Franc is equally impressive.
Perfumed nose of black cherry and plum layered with violet, pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, a subtle green herbal note that added freshness without becoming vegetal. The palate, almost Bordeaux like, is concentrated and layered, driven by vibrant acidity and stony minerality, with fine grained yet firm tannins. — 2 months ago

Nice rioja. Warmer than I like but it’s hot this summer. Smooth. Floral notes. Easy to drink. Low tannins. Great taste. Highly recommend. Didn’t even loose my taste for drinking after looking at my wife’s cut open finger from the knives i just sharpened. Dry, doesn’t make your mouth pucker. Gets better the more you drink. 9.2. 33$ great value.

This is the best bottle of wine I’ve had from my cellar in years. Nearly perfect. Bought it in 2008 for $30 and one of my great finds. Good lord it was just divine. I’m sure there have been better vintages but I can’t imagine it. — 7 months ago

21 years old. Drinking 2005 in 2026. One of the best QPR wines out there. A classic Old World Rioja offering unbelievable quality for the price. Visually, it pours a deep, dark ruby. The nose is rich with seductive burnt oak, dark berries, and smooth vanilla.
On the palate, it delivers a soft, well-balanced light-to-medium body bursting with red and black fruit, sweet cocoa, and a subtle green touch. It closes with a solid medium-plus fruity finish.
This 2005 vintage has plenty of life left to improve for years — 13 days ago
