Great nose. I decanted for 30 minutes. There is a hint of smoke and plum. What a gem. (81 views)

A year and a half since my other bottle and this is still incredible. Light greenish yellow color. The nose is insane with Pineapple and Grapefruit. Like a tropical breeze in southern Italy by the Mediterranean. On the palate it's high energy with tons of citrus, grapefruit, tangerine, pomelo and a lot of tropical fruits like Pineapple, Apricot and Passionfruit. High acidity with a lot of minerality as well. The finish is medium to long with salinity and a lot of lemon zest. Incredible white wine for summer and to pair with seafood (75 views)

Double decanted for an hour, similar to my prior note, but I suspect even better & near perfection; outstanding & ready to drink. (315 views)

Opens up very nicely in the glass showing some refined and balanced dark cherry fruit. It has aged very nicely and still has a touch of dried fruit.
Lovely nose with plenty of flowers but also some dried earth and mushrooms. It seems to be fully mature due to the lovely balance and intensity. Very lovely wine that shows what age can do to a fairly simple wine when it was released! (219 views)

PnP. Color is bright ruby. On the nose: Cherry, sour funk, plum, dark chocolate. On the palate: Cherry, dark chocolate, orange zest, and cinnamon . Needs time to open but it’s very good. High alcohol as expected but hides it well. (89 views)

My last bottle of this wine. Cork in perfect condition, wine is in great shape. Some other bottles were hit or miss for me. The tannins on this are largely resolved, but still sufficient to age it a bit longer. The nose is fairly closed, with licorice and herbal notes prevailing over the cherry and oak. The wine went very well with food. It's unique and quite tasty. The 15% abv shows on the palate. (311 views)

This is a big wine, with 15% alcohol. It evolved considerably over time, with the last third of the bottle being the best. And it was exquisite by that point. So rich, with many flavors and textures. At first I tasted the ripasso Amarone characteristics - almost too much so. Then it started to taste more like a floral Cabernet; the body even seemed to lighten. The last third brought some Italian smokiness. It was a unique and great wine, a blockbuster that had rich subtlety. It had aged fine and probably could have continued in the cellar. I did not sense that it was fading at all. (176 views)

Another Quintarelli great wine. Colour is garnet with a little more browning at the edges. But still a touch of red at the core. Moderate color intensity.
Much like the last bottle I had , 8 years ago. Aromas start with dried cherries, dried dark berries, hints of spiciness/incense, cedar, graphite. Also hints of tar, and a subtle floral element. Absolutely beautiful and gently wafts out of the glass. Hints at the how great this wine will be when you finally taste it.

Dry, medium bodied. A bit on the bitterness side, not sweet fruited. Terrific structure. This wine could age another decade, but unfortunately this is my last bottle. Dusty tannins. Long finish. Very nice complexity without the weight or thickness.
Overall you get the dried cherries and red berries as well as ripe cherries and berries and plums. There is a nice spice cake flavors with an herbal/savoury element. A nice streak of minerality runs through the mid palate to finish. Notes of leather and cedar and a touch of tar on the finish as well. More balsamic flavours creeping in now.
Beautiful complexity. Wonderful to sip away at. (181 views)

A besoin de carafer oui. Pour le prix et l'année, il y a mieux. Comme un Morar à 77 dollars.

The wine has infinite capacity to benefit for decanting. In our case the bottle was opened and decanted then put back in bottle with a splash of argon and kept for another day in the fridge. Redecanted the day after et voila. The wine was as bright and fresh as the day before! The rest was sing all the way and back to its normal service. The third time we try it in the last 8 years and remains consistent albeit a lot more secondary now but with every little bit of the punchy rich style it is made in. 91 again and this has easily another decade at peak.

Pleasant enough but I was expecting more interesting wine from this producer. Perhaps still to young? (191 views)

Really integrated with basically no tannins. Sweet cherries immediately on nose and palate. Kinda like a NSG Burg without the earthiness. Paired this with a simple asian beef, green peppers and onions and it was low/no tannin with enough soft black fruit to work. I think it's been wonderful for the last few years and will be for a few more, but probably at a peak place now since it did fall off a little on the fruit/acidity balance on the last glass later in the evening, but really delicious for the first couple of hours.

Tasted triple blind. Immediately charming, violet top aromas with suggestions of tea tree and molasses. As it opens, it expresses a lovely coffee shop nose that establishes impressive oak integration. Dynamic mocha latte coziness on the palate, sleek and sexy. Recollective maturity that demands respect even amongst younger, more brawny wines. My WOTN. (283 views)
