4/27/2024 - Snoski62 Likes this wine: 92 pointsSolid BdM from a good vintage. Decanted about 2 hours before serving with chicken parmigiana. Red brick color and floral nose. Strawberry and cherry primary notes with a bit of spice/smoke in the back of the throat. Decent finish with soft tannins. Held up well when revisiting on day 3. |

4/27/2024 - Outplaying Likes this wine: NRWhen I first pulled the cork, I was worried how this bottle was going to show. It seems tired and thin. I poured a couple of glasses and let them sit for an hour. When I came back, the wine had opened and put on some weight. Some earthy notes, but also some mint and dark fruit. We both enjoyed it. I hope my last bottle shows as well. I’ll try to drink it in the next year or two. |

3/25/2024 - Tranquility Base Likes this wine: 88 pointsMy records show that I spent $13 on this bottle in 2017. Those were the days. I was interested because it was made by Tenuta di Sesta. The wine opened up a little tired tasting, giving me concern that I should have drunk it when I bought it rather than cellaring it for years. However, over time that better qualities of the wine began to emerge - aged fruit, soft tannins, Montalcino tastes. By the last glass this was a good bottle of wine and I was sorry to see it go. It sometimes takes a fair amount of breathing to let wines from this region emerge. |

11/10/2023 - Putnam Weekley Likes this wine: 90 pointsWeigh value discrepancies between smell and drink in favor of the former. This is especially true of a young wine with penetrating, original aromas, and a palate bound up in reeds and acid. (Be sure to rule out remedial aromatic cosmetology.) The smell of this wine is insuppressible and relaxed, with anise, rose, and bergamot. A drink acts like translucent cables under tension. Ash roasted roots and twigs, seething with sap, keep illuminated clearance on the action. Gripping laces; wildflowers; crumbled earth; passively aromatized like minty, radiant, mountain amaro; exceedingly transparent of flavor; quite long. It’s premature! And exciting to drink. It might improve. 90-95 points. |

8/23/2023 - CDT Likes this wine: 92 pointsTasted after a 75 minute decant. Pale to medium ruby in colour with a distinct garnet hue. Aromas are lovely leather, floral & earth. On the palate, medium bodied red/black cherry, somewhat earthy & floral, tobacco/chocolate, medium to high acidity, medium to high soft tannins with a long finish to sour cherry, minerality & leather. This wine is elegant & restrained, & has aged well! |
