3/31/2023 - Vinnut Likes this wine: 93 pointsDeep dark reddish-purple in color with some clearing at the edges. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of mature, ripe fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of earthy/dusty & some floral notes, herbs, minerals, leather, mint, anise & a hint of cedar in the background. Full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, mature, ripe fruit flavors of cherries, blueberries & plums with spices, minerals, cocoa & a hint of oak. Long lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well with decanting & airing but at 24 years of age it is close to or at its peak of development although it may hold here for a few more years. Fill was in lower portion of neck; cork stained only on bottom & intact. |

2/26/2023 - eboracum Likes this wine: 94 pointsThis has really opened up since my last bottle 7 years ago and is now a superb example of a 100% Sangiovese based Tuscan red. Straight from an undecanted bottle, the bouquet on the nose was a subtle blend mature red fruit, discreet flowers, fine minerals and a hints of meat and balsam. This followed through onto the medium++ linear shaped palate which showed good depth and length, fresh moreish acidity, silky texture and firmness on the finish without asperity. The overall effect was classy with both elegance and power. Excellent. |

1/28/2023 - RightBankKane Likes this wine: NRMarvelous. Color still dense, deep and dark. Bouquet was sweet and thick from the pull and even sparked a bit of walnut in the first hour--walnut and waffle. The palate took about an hour to relax and deepen. Then it came to the fore, sweetened up and extended. Solid acidity and balance; structured tannin through the finish. A great drink now but could go on a long time and make silky bones. Well done. |

7/30/2022 - cvst Likes this wine: 92 pointsOpened a couple of hours prior to drinking. Ripe cherries, resolved tannins, meaty and deep, but not heavy, with a long earthy aftertaste. Beautiful in the first 2 hours after giving some air in the bottle then more earthy tones, more tertiary flavours start to dominate. Less complex than the `97 but nevertheless very enjoyable. |

6/18/2022 - sirpat00 wrote: 92 pointsTasted blind. Double-decanted. Slightly medicinal, red berry fruit, dried tomato, herbs and a just hints of aging notes. A bit blurry aromatics and lacking precision, rather limited intensity but otherwise nice. Well-integrated tannin, palatable and nicely fresh even if on balance leaning a bit too heavy towards the acidity. |

6/19/2022 - Collector1855 wrote: 95 pointsBlind tasting lunch. This was a lovely surprise. Also here, we were debating Chinati or super tuscan. Very dense wine for a Chianty, properly ripe fruit, some dark notes, structured but not over the top. Masculine but now with 22 years of age, well integrated. This has a long life ahead. |

9/18/2021 - Whitman wrote: 95 pointsBrownish golden colour if that makes sense. There's sweetness all over this wine. Dried figs and dates, with caramel and brown sugar. The palate is rich, thick, almost oily ending in a really long finish with a burnt nuance. This is really good. |

Ringing tart cherry, strawberry, dried tomato, grippy soil, tobacco, and leather melding nicely on the settled but elegantly rich palate. Firm tannin balanced by excellent acidity, with a long finish of burnished red fruit, anchoring earth, and velvety texture. A fine-boned, elegant classic beauty. |

10/16/2020 - cct wrote: 93 pointsDouble decanted for sediment than drunk over several hours. Dark strawberry fruit, cured meat, some spice, and herbal notes on the nose. It's mid weighted, with terrific depth and graceful power without any sense of heaviness. More dark Sangiovese fruit, savory and spice on the palate. This has breadth and depth all delivered in proportion. At peak with plenty of time in hand. |
