This was the mystery bottle in our Super Tuscan tasting event. It was up against the 2016 Masseto, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Solaia, Tignanello, and Redigaffi. This wine was outstanding. Probably one of the top 5 vintages of Insignia since 1994 in my opinion. Deep purple color, blueberry, blackberry, chocolate, some lead pencil and earth on the nose. Super smooth and elegant on the palate. Really well balanced fruit, tannins, acid. Long elegant finish of dark fruit and earthy with a touch of spice that lingered beautifully. We decanted this and all others about 2.5 hours prior to tasting. Second favorite of the night behind the Masseto which was a force of nature. — 6 years ago

Superbe domaine qui nous propose un vin de grande classe. Une robe cuivrée avec un nez doux de tabac, noisettes et chocolats. En bouche, une longueur très bonne avec une grande amplitude. Un final sur le cuir et boisé.

40 euro at l’rinforzino, Empoli, with Curly. First time with this grape. Equal top on the wine menu with Ornellaia (vintage not stated). Will probably improve with a chance to air.

Bevuto più volte nel corso degli anni. Invecchiato molto bene, ma nel 2020 risulta ancora leggermente acerbo. il tannino. Immutabile. Speziato. Ma sbilanciato. Migliorato molto con il tempo — 6 years ago
Magnum 2009 La Mission Haut-Brion. Very lean and structured. More austere than the 2015 Ornellaia white. — 7 years ago
Sono sorpresso quando l'ho trovato a Trader Joe's. Questo tipo dell'uva sarebbe raro piuttosto. Anche dipenda il chataue veramente, mi piace Grillo perche e' similare con Monrasche a volte. — 9 years ago
A 10 anni è già in fase decadente. Buono in bocca ma colore e profumi sono da vino di 20 anni — 4 months ago
An amazing wine with incredible complexity. Black currants, black plums, dark chocolate, earth, sawdust, cigar smoke, etc. It just keeps going on and on! Better than the 2001 Ornellaia I had earlier. It can be enjoyed for many years to come. — 4 years ago
