Fully mature, this show really nice complexity for a Rosso. Warm terra cotta tiles, mahogany furniture, and still a bit of macerated cherry fruit. Good intensity on the palate, with acids and tannins to structure everything. Great with the rich “Sunday Gravy” sauce we’re having — 6 days ago

Very different from the Tempo D'Angelus. This giving a lot less ripe, more lean style. Also a good glass of wine given the price but preferred the Angelus style this weekend. — 9 months ago

Cor bem escura e bordas de um vermelho intenso. Bastante corpo com lágrimas lentas. Aroma amadeirado já envelhecido, adocicado com notas de fruta passa, aroma alcoólico bem pouco perceptível. Na boca é possível perceber bem levemente aspecto ácido e tânico, mas de mandeira geral é bem equilibrado e saboroso. Possui notas de frutas pretas e ervas. — 3 years ago

Poured into a decanter prior to service; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2015 “Oliveto p.56” Riserva pours, a deep sienna color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with very light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with drop dead, gorgeous notes of funky Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, cigar box, fresh green herbs, dried blood orange, old leather, old wood, horse blanket, and dry, dusty earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is silky and slightly savory. So Italian that it nearly makes me weep with emotion; this gives me the vibes of old school Brunello Riserva and I’m in love. So much personality! I think this is absolutely phenomenal right now and will likely chill in this window through the remainder of this decade and live well beyond. Drink now through 2040-ish. — 3 months ago

Cor rubi intensa, com corpo denso. Aroma agradável de uma amadeirado equilibrado, com leve álcool e frutas, com alguma lembrança de odor de couro ou pele de cavalo. Na boca é bem intenso, passa acidez e um pouco de taninos macios, com pouco rastro. — 3 years ago

Graphite, blackberry, and vanilla. A touch sharp on the tannins initially, needs room to breath. Dark ruby in color and rich and earthy in taste. — 6 months ago

Unusual. Delicious. Excellent minerality, nice heft and mouthfeel. There is a fruit coming through that I can’t quite identify. And some baking spices, but not oak or vanilla. It’s very nice and moves from a floral aspect through a pithy citrus and into a nice tail. — 7 months ago
