  December 15, 2015 - Bottled by Biserno. 14.5% abv. (Has a boar on the label.) Dense and opaque purple in the glass. Dark fruit (dark cherries and plum) on the nose with a whiff of earth as well. Tart dark fruit on the palate. Mild spices. Paired pretty well with a broiled lamb chop and baked potato.

  September 17, 2015 - Leather, earthy, faint red fruit, charcoal and slightly alcoholic nose that isn't overly appealing, but the wine has nice cherry and raspberry fruit with a silky feel and nice lift from accompanied acidity. Earthy and leather flavors emerge on the finish mixing with the red fruit nicely as the wine finished medium long and only slightly dry. Good stuff, not one dimensional. The wine is right around peak drinking time, but should hold for a couple more years without declining too much. Stored in temp controlled cellar since purchase.

  June 12, 2015 - Vindredi (Bellevue, WA): Tasted blind. A little green, with pond water -- though showing more warm spice as it opens. Soft and light, with red cherry and raspberry. Nicely balanced with fine tannin.

  December 23, 2014 - Dieser Wein ist das Ergebnis des ersten gemeinsame Projektes der Antinori Brüder Ludovico und Piero - der Kellerei Campo di Sasso in Bolgherie.
  
  Diese Tatsache mag für die Familie Antonori von Bedeutung sein, für mich als Weinliebhaber ist jedoch viel erheblicher, dass der Insoglio del Cinghale ein ganz hervorragender Wein ist, welcher die typischen Merkmale der Ausnahmeregion Bolgheri trägt.

  December 24, 2012 - Charpenté, tannique, mais bien dompté quand même. Très peu fruité. Classique. J'aime.
