Deeper more intense colour , narrow more terracotta rim . This is quite restrained with a meaty , herbal element at first . Touch of earthy tobacco and dried spice . Menthol and anise notes also . This has nice anise, liquorice hints on the palate with darker fruit, dark cherry , red plum , touch of earthy , iron notes with some spice and smoky hints . Black tea stained finish . Good acidity with refined tannin. Quite good intensity and persistence on the finish . Drink now and over the next 3-5 years — 9 days ago

Vintage 2012 | Beautiful balance, stinky and fine smell. I should have bought this when I got the opportunity 🤔 — 4 days ago

“Please don’t call it regular”…. more bricking than expected at 10 years old. But tasted fresh. An hour decant helped. — 15 days ago

Our last meal at the Lone Eagle Grill in Tahoe as it is closing at the end of the month! A great wine with my Blueberry Thyme Elk! Nice berry aromas with a rich long smooth finish. Will miss the restaurant! I’ve not had a bad Produttori wine. — 2 days ago

Expressive nose with orange peel, coffee, fennel, lemmon, complex. Medium bodied with the bitterness and tannin harshness of Barolo. A baby. Clean, long, with a sense of place. Tannins are tough right now — 9 days ago

Despite coming from an extremely hot growing season, this fragrant pleases from the start with a floral hint. Little hint of cherry and long silky finish. Beautiful juice that, like many Piedmonte wine, is quite Burgundian in character. — 17 days ago

Jumped back on the horse with an 08 when the 99 proved fake. This one was the real deal. Wasn’t the best Monfortino though. Decanted and let it open for several hours while the Super Bowl unfolded. Go Eagles!!! Layered and foreboding. It didn’t have the best balance with the fruit but it was nonetheless a weighty joy. — 9 days ago

This is a blend of mostly Barolo with a tad of Barbaresco Nebbiolo. It is bright as can be, full of red cherry, a whiff of earth and something even a tad sanguine. It is tasty and ready to drink now but could use more integration — 2 months ago

Plush fruit. Lovely and detailed. Settled and transparent. Clear flavors. Great purity. — 12 days ago

Very rich and smooth. Tannins completely integrated. Various red fruits, not all cherry. Red plum, pomegranate. And violets. And oak, but in the background. — 14 days ago
