  So huge surprise to still have this 2006 in my cellar. After reading some of the tasting notes from 2013 that suggested that it was slightly over the hill, I didn’t know what to expect. Enjoying it now with some pasta with veggies and sausage and it’s still awesome. You might argue the flavors aren’t as rich and deep as a newer vintage but they are still balanced with integrated tannins. Acid still comes through, making it excellent with tomato based sauces. Great job Benessere!

  Nice bouquet upon opening. Let it sit a little. Then it will be more enjoyable. I think this was just a little past its prime

  last of 4 bottles, and I had somehow forgotten what a pleasant surprise this was for the WTSO price of $16/free shipping. was a bit awkward on opening but really opens up nicely in the glass. soft smooth mouthfeel (after 15 minutes in glass) and gentle plum notes. very well enjoyed.
