pulled this bottle because previous notes by myself and other members suggested that this wine might be over the hill by now. pleasant surprise. the wine was still in good shape. i still taste sour cherries but they continue to be surrounded by good structure, full mouth feel and lively aroma comparable to when last tasted. this wine is holding up well and has developed nicely after an early period of awkwardness.

a great example of what this producer can do. also interesting that when drinking another wine i speculated that perhaps 2002 was not among the best vintages for this region. this generalization was incorrect. this bottle showed full body, substantial mouth feel and lively aroma. nice dark fruit with a touch of sweetness.

Basic but a good wine. Nothing fancy.

Still only a mediocre Italian table "red" wine. At $13 a bottle, this is a seriously bad QPR.

Very good, but not really remarkable in any particular way. Nice balance, some berry, paired well with red sauce. Not a very good value.
