Saturday, January 27, 2024 - Like a couple of others here, I wanted to love this wine, for what it cost I deserved more than it delivered. Decanted for an hour, and drunk over 3, it remained hearbreakingly dull , well made, well balanced and solid, but lacking energy, vibrancy, complexity, An overvalued, overhyped ,highly coveted cab blend that , at least by this bottle, was crafted for the many Americans devoted to RP, and all things Italian. Im just guessing here, but Im sure this wine’s principal market over time has been USA, and maybe tourists in restaurants seeking the familiar and famous. I just dont get it, wish I did.
