Opened and decanted two hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1997 “Vigneto Brich Ronchi” pours a deep, hazy garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: Blackberry, Morello cherry, bruised strawberry, dried roses, tar, leather, potting soil, and subtle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long and savory. This is in a lovely spot. Drink now through 2027. — 2 months ago

Plum, red fruit, jammy… showing age, fully developed. Tertiary notes of cloves, black cardamom, smoke, game, leather. Surprisingly high acid. — a month ago
The 2017 was opened for a quick glass, and then gassed for overnight storing. Day 2: It has an engaging ruby/garnet color, perfumed red/blue aromatics, and confirming red/blue fruit flavors. Solidly structured and well balanced with crisp acidity and soft mouth coating tannins at the satisfying finish. Irrespective of vintage, Bucerchiale never fails to deliver, always showing well above its price point. The 2017 vintage is no different. — a month ago
Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas and flavors of red cherry/raspberry, plums, leather, rose petals and black licorice. Wonderful earthy element on the long finish. Fine silky tannins and beautifully light bodied. Extremely well integrated, long lasting and elegant. Quite the crowd pleaser. — 2 months ago
