Solid cab. Not the best GARGIULO I’ve ever had but I wouldn’t kick it out if bed for eating crackers. The Company with whom we enjoyed it made it a 10! Nothing like killing a 3L with badass friends 👍🤜🙌👏👏👏

Per recommendations from shipment - to be drank from 2017 onward. I was curious though. Decanted for many many hours. By 6 hours in - it was fantastic. Well worth the wait. Dark berries, chocolate and a tobacco almost earthy finish. Will be incredible in years to come.

Popped and poured. Dark fruit., long finish and overall very well rounded.

Worth the wait for the 2009. Dried fig, black cherry, anise,tobacco, violets, dust.. Tannins softened and just a little acid to keep things fresh.

Aged beautifully. Primary black and red cherry and currants fruit still vibrant with fig cedar tobacco espresso dark chocolate showing. Tannins softened but perceptible. Aroma pronounced. Deep ruby still.

This was great as expected! 1hr+ decant. Lovely dark red/purple color. Classic Napa sweetness on the nose and palate. More oak than I expected but we’ll integrated. Anise and dark fruit throughout with subtle hints of chocolate and vanilla. Medium depth and finish. Awesome!

Very similar to prior note. 1hr+ decant. Dark red color with purple hues. Big Italian influence. Not all that bold or deep. Lovely texture.

PnP. This was awesome! Dark red color. Similar to previous notes but deeper and more complex. Needed a bit to open up and then matured into an Amarone like Cab. Dark cherries, hints of oak and chocolate, and great balance between sweetness and tannins. Medium plus finish. Loved it!
