I felt this was flawed. TCA punches you in the face on first whiff and although it wasn’t as terribly compromised as the bouquet would indicate, there was still something that wasn’t right. No rating. Cool pull though.

The label says Valentino on the top but the bottom says Podere Rocche dei Manzoni. This is a spectacular wine. Deep, rich and very alive. #2 WOTN.

Almost like a tawny. Very good experience but past it's prime
