My last 2008. This was a darn good vintage, but gotta say I liked the 2004 more. Love these wines as very low maintenance...PnP and they are ready to drink in no time! Therefor perfect for bringing to a restaurant. Also make great gifts due to unique bottle shape...on to the '09's!

Pop and pour, consumed over next 2 hours. Surprisingly, this has really developed further since last tasting. Wonderful complexity, elegance, balance, and personality. Drinking beautifully now.

In a nice spot. Black cherry fruit, muted nose. A pleasant if not profound wine. Missing depth. Drink these now as don't see any added potential, but my first time with their wines at this age.

Fantastic! This is STILL drinking at peak...nobody makes cerasuolo like COS. Did NOT decant. Pulled the cork, left in bottle and started drinking after 30min.

At Atera. Very drinkable and fruit forward. No sediment. Very food friendly.
