Balanced herbs and fruit shine with bay leaf. Still a lot of power. — 23 days ago

Wow. What a wine. Cherry flower galore. Stunning. Soppy cherries galore. Just so pure. 9.6 nose. Smells like Pergole Torte. Wow. Powdered cherry sugar. Sweet, silky, sappy, pure, delineated. Unreal. Best wine I’ve ever had from Costa Archi. — 4 years ago

Beautiful wine. Just starting to amber in the glass. Very nice white fruit and flowers on the nose. Finish lacks just a bit of acid which keeps this from being even better. But still a delicious wine, especially paired alongside some simple Dover sole meunière and an asparagus torte for our 5 year anniversary. — 5 years ago

Got these as buffer for the Montevertine '16 resting in my cellar untill they're ready. Well, if this is a warning for what is coming...make sure you get these, the Montevertine and (if your wallet allows it) the Pergole Torte because something great is coming! As long as you stock them... — 6 years ago

[Half bottle] This lovely 17-year-old Banyuls has finally knitted together into a very fine example of Dr. Parce Banyuls (old vine Grenache made in the same way as Port), earlier bottles were terribly disjointed and lacking balance and sweetness). Served with Viennese Sacher Torte my wife made for dessert!

Our first Dr. Parce was the 1967 “Vielles Vignes” which was fantastic and is still my reference point. We had that in 1987 at Pierre Gagnaire’s restaurant in St. Etienne, before he moved on to Paris, his staff was kind enough to comp us a bottle — blind — while my brother and I embarrassed ourselves trying to identify the wine!! That bottle was tried with Pierre’s famous “chocolate soup” dessert, the recipe for which was in Patricia Wells’ “Food and Wine Lovers of France” book from the mid-1980s — memorable combination!!! — a year ago

This was on the bubble. Fully mature, but drinking perfectly now. A shade too much oak on the nose and palate. Tannins are close to resolved, and not too much acidity to talk about. Still fruit dominant with black cherries and linze torte. Consume with the next 12 - 24 months. — 4 years ago

Hailing from Radda in Chianti this beautiful 100% Sangiovese is grown at pretty high altitude (about 1470 ft) and is facing the most famous Pergole Torte vineyard. The wine shows a ruby red core with clear rim. The nose is seducing with ripe raspberry, cherry, violet and crushed flowers. As it opens it shows more of mineral spine and spices and a touch of smoke. In the mouth it is medium plus body with good acidity and medium tannins. I really liked it and am curious to see how it will evolve. — 6 years ago
