  April 2, 2024 - Retail $98. Very Heavy Bottle (767g; 1lb 11oz)). Under cork. 100% Montepulciano. I do not have much experience with this appellation and even less with the producer, but both will certainly have to change. Fairly dark in color with plenty of dark fruit (blackberry, cassis), spice (black pepper, cardamom, anise), and earth on the nose. The palate is initially all about that fruit, followed quickly by a shot of mocha, and then spice. The tartness is present and balanced, carrying through to the finish, which has plenty of tannins, indicating plenty of life ahead of it. Outstanding. 93 Points.

  December 6, 2023 - Medium, dark ruby color. Aromatic mesquite, black fruit baking spice aromas. On the palate it’s medium bodied with well integrated velvety tannins and medium acidity with black and red currant, blackberry, plum, vanilla, cacao flavors with a long finish
