5/17/2021 - JButterfield07 Likes this wine: 88 pointsOverall like the wine. Nice dark fruit aromas and smooth on the palate. Lighter, rich finish, but it doesn’t last long. A very good Malbec that I will continue to purchase, but not willing to give it a great score. |

2012 Collezione di Paolo SangioveseToscana IGT more |
12/21/2017 - JButterfield07 Likes this wine: 91 pointsThe wine is a really good Sangiovese. I read previous tasting notes that were written two years ago. I think the key with this wine is to let it age and then decant for at least an hour. Once it opened up it was smooth and true to a good Sangiovese. |
