  June 28, 2010 - Tar and earthy notes on the nose. The palate is dark cherries and light tar with good acidity and moderate tannins. Really drinking well.

  January 22, 2010 - Bright and dark fruit on the nose, with some tar. Tar and dark cherries on the palate, good acidity, and modest tannins. Was great when opened, but had to leave 1/2 bottle for next day, and vacuum sealed it, but it had lost most of its vibrancy by the next day and was tired. So, drink the same day!

  March 17, 2009 - Interesting factor -- you must wait an hour or so, or decant well, because it's very tight at first and unforgiving at first. But once given time, it has a great tarry nose with dark fruit underneath. There is a slight tar in the taste and dark cherries, good acidity and moderate tannins at end.

  June 16, 2008 - Another delicious Selvapiana. Top quality sangiovese fruit on the palate and dark cherries. Nose is bright and fruity and hint of earth and leather.

  March 2, 2007 - Stunning Chianti Rufina. Beautiful tarry, earthy very dark fruit on the nose. The taste follows with amazing soft road tar and dark cherries with great acidity and soft tannins at the end. A great expression of sangiovese.
