Big tar, macerated cherries, dried leaves, roses, dried and fresh and a depth to it. Very deep aromas. Palate is opulent, yet stern and juicy with fantastic purity and balance. Great finish. Long and juicy. Nice sweet fruit on the finish. Black cherry and mid season cherry. Great wine. Love 18. Nose is fantastic after 3 hours. Super floral and so enveloping. Palate is velvety but firm. Very fresh and classy wine. — 2 months ago
Began in 1944, Mario Incisa acquired Cab Sauv & Franc vine cuttings, planted them on San Guido estate, called Castiglioncello, Sassicaia, "the place of many stones". A blend of 85% Cab Sauv, 15% Cab Franc. Lovely ripe fruit & spice aromas. Bold berry fruit flavors with spice, oak, leather & cacao, a powerhouse. Soft tannins allows current enjoyment. Long silky smooth fresh finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Great now, will age, but drink now, outstanding. Little pricey at $300. Tasting Sample. — 5 months ago
Lovely Barolo aged just right to be consumed now, and quite a value at $61. Tannins are perfectly smooth and attack is a nice light cherry flavor. The acidity complained about in earlier reviews is gone. Filtration necessary but no decant is needed. — 4 months ago
Such a flavorful and complex Friulano. Leave this open at least one hour before consuming—decant recommended with aerator. Just the right age. So many flavors come out at once and across the palette: pear and apricot and citrus in succession. A great buy that stood up to Indian Rogan Josh. — 9 months ago
