  Drink up. I concur with the previous posting from a couple years ago … dark, moderately interesting , correct varietal components but asking too much at 17 years old. a California / modern palate might find this as compatible We enjoyed the bottle but I’ve had lovelier aged examples of this. 1998 was crazy good at 17 years old

  Not exactly light on its feet. This bottle showed lots of dark, unfocused fruit with a heavy, syrupy finish. With some air this lightened up a bit but this is not what I want in a wine. Might be a tad off. Expected lots more from this producer.

  Decanted for an hour. For me this is in a very nice stage, at its peak, and showing very typical notes of Sangiovese, with cherry and tomato paste. The palate is quite mature with good tannins and red fruit with good acidity. I would say this still has a bit of life ahead of it, another few years in the cellar won't hurt.

  Getting close to the end of the drinking window. Licorice and viol both in the nose and taste. Heavy sediment.

  Interesting clash of Sangiovese and Cab. Still young. Will keep one bottle 5 y, another 10y. Unusual style for Europe
