Marred by VA that crossed the line between lifted and flawed for me. A bottle a year ago was brilliant.

I think this is beginning to head downhill. Still has good fruit, acidity and dusty tannins. Starting to show a hint of a pruney note. Last of a case. Time to drink these.

11th of 12. Classic Fontodi CC. Dark cherry fruit, nice grip, long finish. Drink these over the next few years.

I love this wine. Just incredible for its quality and its price. Sour black cherry, damp earth. Nice grip. Interesting and complex. 12 yo and going strong.
