What a hidden Jim… The key ingredient here is the estate grown Nebbiolo worked into the pseudo SuperTuscan blend. Phenomenal flavor from the Virginia Piedmont. This was a recipient of a gold and more than deserving of it. — 7 months ago

Such a grateful recipient of the generosity of my host here.. Hadn't had this in a few years, but I'd say after revisiting last night, it remains the finest California wine I've had. This bottle showed a bit soft right out of the gate, but it became incredibly expanded and powerful with air - the fruit sweetened up and the herbal notes were amazingly intense and pungent. Texturally like thick velvet. A legend for a reason. Hard to say how much life left, but definitely not going anywhere for a while - solid as a rock in the glass for 2 hours. #amazing — 11 years ago

It is just a generic Chianti, not a Classico, but to be honest it's a great example of a vibrant, easy drinking, no brainer Sangiovese from that area.

For the price ot is a must go wine that has a too small recipient.

Not complicated, but decently long. — 2 years ago

An amazingly complex blend showing both the terroir of this region while impressing on the recipient the able craftsmanship of this finely blended cab, merlot & can franc. Great acid and tannic blend that’s ready now and should hold up for a decade or more. One of the best wines I’ve enjoyed in years. — 7 years ago

Super tuscan, 80% sangiovese, 20% cabernet sauvignon. Smooth, aromatics earthy & curranty. Given past its due date-surprised at how much stuffing is left. Lucky to be the recipient of our neighbors generosity-parent emptying out his wine cellar... — 9 years ago

@Delectable Wine
This is a red called Focu from Racina Wine from the Costa Viola in Calabria, located just in front of the Messina Strait.
Field blend, perhaps mainly greco Nero, but it has every red varieties that you could find in the vineyard so it is really hard to tell
Carbonic fermentation
It has a little fizz, gentle and pleasant i must say
It is a 'vino contadino' or 'peasant wine' 2.0, or just a better version if you prefer
Super easy drinking and no edges or harshness at all
The one litre recipient is needed

Rufina worth reaching for. Tannins, acidity, fruit all playing a wonderful Symphony together! Had another bottle of this last night, & got a great floral character in the mid palate. Just enough complexity to keep the recipient engaged. — 6 years ago

08 Dhondt Mes Vieilles Vignes BdB. Chet and I traded a few bottles of bubbly and I was the lucky recipient of this one. What a beautiful wine. Creamy pretty layered fruit, very smooth and refined, nice mousse, great length, a very lovely Champagne that reminded me of Comtes. Need more! — 7 years ago
