November 27, 2022 - Another random pull over the weekend. An odd representation of Sangiovese This was port like and completely flat with stewed fruit and syrupy Clearly over the hill; and baked probably from the beginning. Not sure why these were ever produced
December 12, 2019 - Excellent wine. Deep purple with a hint of tawny around the edge. Incredibly rich, smooth, and jammy. More like wonder grape than Sangiovese. Drink now.
December 31, 2017 - It was very good, best with food. Lively considering age. New Years dinner with Pat & Lori.
October 30, 2016 - Aged beautifully as it was very smooth & silky. Full of great flavor.
July 26, 2015 - It is such a treat to have time to enjoy this gorgous 06 Sangiovese. Day two brought out the earthiness to this wine and expanded the richness And body. The drinking window suggested 2010 thru 14, that's off obviously as it is perfect in 2015. Sad, this is my last bottle. I'll take this over any Italian Sangiovese's That take 10 years to soften.
August 3, 2014 - As much as I love Altamura in general and their Sangiovese cal ital, I drank the 2006 tonight with a beautiful eggplant Parmesan that Kelli made with eggplant from our garden, and it is past it's prime. Still some jammy fruit but colour, nose and balance were all off. Out of balance and waning. I have 2 more bottles so let's see if next one is holding on.
April 13, 2014 - This puts some many very expensive Italian Sangiovase's to shame. Great nose, smooth tannins, rich fruit and very balanced. it takes 45 seconds to finish on your pallet. The 09 is not quite as lush but very good.
April 5, 2014 - BLACK CHERRIES, LICORICE, AND EARTHINESS IN THE NOSE WITH CHERRIES, LICORICE, AND BLACK CHERRIES IN THE FLAVOR. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.
February 13, 2014 - Really good - too bad it's my last bottle
November 27, 2013 - Spectacular wine lush smooth nice dark fruit balanced wish I had lots mote
