  September 26, 2020 - Paperwork not handy. I bought the '02 from Binny's for 17/b about 12 years ago--good chance that this came from the same place for about the same price. Decanted with relatively light sediment for its age. Dark purple; Bordeaux-like nose and body but more cherry (from the Sangiovese), bit past prime, better with food. A clear notch below the '02. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation: For me, scores on a "100-point scale" are misleading. I use a 4-category scale (perhaps with +/-)--not including flawed--which runs outstanding/notable/drinkable/poor. This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.

  January 7, 2014 - As IGT's go, this was very much an inexpensive wine. It is a good drink - my initial impression of the nose was ashes, and the palate impression is on the dark fruit side. But it also strikes me as particularly coarse, lacking finesse or subtlety. That said, pretty good QPR. Bought on closeout at Binny's for a price in the low teens.
