Still impressed with how well this wine is put together and it's continued strength in aging. Clearly the best of the 40-50 wines I've had from this producer

Amazing wine that will not disappoint. Similar to past notes with big earthy flavors surrounded by red fruits. Long drying finish. Should continue to age.

This is a full bodied lush wine that presents with a fair amount of oak, but then transitions to soft flavors of blackberry, red currant, and black pepper. There is a long finish of warm spice.
Drank with 2 brunello's from 2005. While this wine is not as complex as some brunello's it way over delivers for the price

This delivered. Still young, bright, and a little segmented, but should integrate more in a few years. Bursting with black cherry, blackberry, and anise. It has a solid backbone with pepper and lively cola notes. Finish is long and transitions from cola to plum.

This wine has held up over the years and is still quite big and somewhat firm. Fruit has diminished and is now dried cranberries and sour cherries.
