Gorgeous, a young Sophia Loren, classic beauty with pure beam of cherry fruit mingled with dried herbs, olive, damp Earth and almost a subtle minty & licorice note. Just the right amount of juicy acidity & tannins - so cohesive & balance like a Ballerina. Need more of this type of Chianti Classico in my life.

Wow. Amazing. Fresh as a daisy.
Nose is almost savory.
Palate is vibrant. Bright cherries. Deep. Delicious. cherry licorice.
Needs an hour decant.

Just had 3 days later from a Saran wrapped decanter. Omg. nose is platonic ideal of Nebbiolo. Palate is perfect. Insane texture. Cherry perfume. Almost orgasmic. High end burgundy elegance. #
Has this elegant deliciousness like gc burgundy. A hint of sluttiness like DRC RSV. But still elegant. Astonishing.
Sophia Loren. This is Fucking Sophia Loren.
So delicious but also so elegant. Oh. My. God.
Day 3.
I abused this wine and it’s fucking brilliant.
If this guy played the game he’d be top 20. Maybe top 10.

20223 vintage. Medium body. Dark fruit mated with grip. Good balance with a modicum of richness at the start. Resto cost $15 a bottle on 3 cases. This is easily the most ridiculous, cheap chicken, Napa Cab offer I've come across in a decade. Word in the barrel room is that this is declassified juice from a major Cabernet player/participant that can't be tied into this effort. Tasted their Sauvignon Blanc (and I intently dislike SB) as well and it rocked for a similar price. Approx 5k cases of this Cab made so you might actually come across it. if you do, grab a case. 03.21.25. — 7 days ago
