This wine has been in my cellar for some time now. I decanted it through a screen and cloth to get all of the residue. It was well worth the time and effort.

A very good wine and very drinkable as soon as you open it.

We love this wine. It is good right after opening and better with a little airing.

VegasOenophile's 2011 review is spot on. I can't write stuff like that. I love this wine. I wish I would have bought more.

I didn't expect much from this wine but was pleasantly surprised at how it opened up after about thirty minutes. It is light with not much body. It is a good daily drinker.

I have to say that the corks are breaking on all the bottles I have opened to date. The wine is has not been compromised. Let it open for at least an hour for the best results.

This wine was beyond its so-called window of consumption but you would have never thought that by the way it tasted. I decanted it an hour before dinner and it was smooth and silky. If it was beyond its time it may have been that it wasn't as bold as other bottles of the same vintage I consumed earlier.

Needs time to open. Nice on the tongue even at first sip.

This is one of my favorite Rosso. It does need time to breathe but is very smooth. It is a very good alternative to the more expensive Brunello.

Drank with a ribeye steak. It needed time to open. It was sort of chalky at opening. This wine drinks much better with food, not a sipper.

The wine looks Garnet colored. The legs are Slow. The body is Full. The wine has Smooth texture. The wine finishes Long.

This is a disappointing Willamette Valley Pinot Noir. It is thin with little aroma or taste. I expected much more.

I love this wine right out of the bottle. Great length on the tongue.

Fruity and simple. A little harsh at first. My wife thought it was thick but I thought it was a little light. Under $20.

This wine is a great Rosso. It paired very well with a ribeye. It has the perfect brunello favors at a fraction of the price.

Nice wine but needs time to open. It does not have the aroma I thought it would have.

A little disappointed in this wine. I waited 2 years to open and is thin and not as full-bodied as I hoped especially for Flora Springs an the price. Maybe the 2007 would be better.

Very nice soon. Lighter than I usually think for a Rosso.

Not a very rich or typical Brunello.

Cork was streaked to the tip but was not corked. It is a deep dark wine and a great price at

Not the best Rosso for the price. I did not let it open up before drinking so it was a little harsh.

Drinks like a Zinfandel, but may need to open more. Great body and texture.

It took a while to open up. One hour later it was smooth and typical of a great Brunello. It was very rich with legs.

I thought it had no aroma or flavor. It was a bit earthy for me. My wife thought it had a great feel and that it opened up after decanting.

Drinking the second bottle, I have noticed that this wine drinks like a white wine. Maybe a Pinot grigio with a dark mask.
