La Flama Blanca Likes this wine: 95 points
September 28, 2020 - Beast Mode! Inky dark blood in color. Massive and untamed, these Valentini’s are not for the timid. Showcasing a dark red and black fruit core with notes of roasted wild boar, olives, iron, beef blood, wet earth and smoke. At 6 hours open it was still insanely intense. I’d recommend an 8-12 hr / all day decant to experience everything this monster has to offer. Off the charts power and a wine that needs both bottle age and a day’s worth of air to truly enjoy all of its nuances. 95+
