Medium ruby color with a slight orange rim. Aromas of red fruit, leather, forest floor, orange zest and smokey oak. Flavors of red and black cherries and plums, tobacco, porcini mushrooms, black licorice, black olives and earthy spices. Long and expressive finish. Bold acidity and chewy tannins. Full bodied and incredibly well balanced. So complex and concentrated. Thanks to Petey and Kase for this Welcome to Cape May 2026 Vacation wine! — 6 days ago

Splash decanted and enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, dried green herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and has that Ciacci Piccolomini silkiness. I felt the 2019 was a little reticent for the first 30min (not at all surprised) but opened beautifully after that and continued to build steam until the last glass. Very easy to enjoy and fabulous with bolognese. Drink now with a 30min decant and through 2044 — 4 months ago

The vintage is prime! Maybe a year or two down, but singing with some time. Beautiful bronze ring and hue, notes of strawberry, raisin, and white pepper earthiness. Salud! 🍷 — 10 days ago

Traditional Sangiovese from a warm vintage — ripe but structured. Sour cherry, dried herbs, leather, balsamic, fine-grained tannin, bright acidity holding it all together. Entering its window now; the fruit has integrated and the tertiary notes are emerging. Built to drink through 2030+ but already showing well. — 25 days ago

Gentle and more feminine in style than many old style classic Brunello - drinking really well. Very nice. Long caressing finish. — a month ago

Strong floral & spice on the nose when first opened. After 20 minutes decanted, delicate layers of cherry & blueberry fruit on the palate with light spice… and a very nice long finish. Soft tannins are pronounced.
This wine has not peaked. I will try it again in a couple of years. But it is delightful right now! — 9 days ago

9.3

Pours a medium, slightly faded garnet rim, opening with an intense and highly expressive nose showing advanced tertiary evolution. On the palate, it exhibits a firm, full-bodied structure driven by ripe, integrated tannins and a distinctly mature, savory depth. The texture remains smooth, carrying through to a finish with harmonious spices—a fully evolved bottle to be consumed in the very near future. — a month ago
