Possibly the first wine i ever noticed was better than other wines in its sane category. I used to order this at thevold Lanza's on Second Avenue in the nineties. Mr. Lanza was always sitting at the back table with an oxygen tank and I always had the Carbonara, which was exceptional. Then I would have probably described the Ducale Oro as layered; today I'd say supple. I suspect it used to be better but its hard to say. I'm spoiled with excellent Chianti now, but it's always nice to see an old friend.

Probably the most expensive bottle of wine ever carried at an Ingles grocery store, hence I savored the experience. 😬😉 You got yer dark cherry, vanilla and sweet spices, and smooth tannins. Very easy drinking if not particularly complex or characteristic. Drink now.
