| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.7 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 11 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Amerique on 10/24/2012 & rated 91 points: Round, smooth, full-bodied dark cherry fruit with loads of acid and minerality, oaky and leathery flavors, tannins ample, excellent structure, thick viscosity, medium finish, fruit seems restrained by the acid, very enjoyable wine (2628 views) | | | Tasted by winoma on 12/10/2011 & rated 91 points: Big wine right out the gates. Youthful with blackberry fruit flavors, long finish and tannins still resolving. First bottle out of a case that had been tucked away in the cellar. A clear winner which should be enjoyed over the next 2 years. (2795 views) | | | Tasted by davidspieker on 11/1/2011 & rated 86 points: Very cloudy rusty purple. Aroma of musty dark fruit and earth. Full body with decent balance and finish. (2886 views) | | | Tasted by Pilot on 8/30/2007 & rated 91 points: Certainly modern in style, but it was drinking really well. (3487 views) | | | Tasted by GlenD on 10/27/2005 flawed bottle: corked :( (4266 views) | | | Tasted by SteveHyde on 9/21/2005: The last bottle of my case of 99 Capezzana. Sigh. A wonderful wine that will be fondly remembered. A house pour when we lived outside Florence, we used to buy it for 11-13 Euro per bottle. A bit hard to evaluate, actually. The distinctive bramble, spice, black fruits, and clove nose was there, the color was still as deep and rich as ever, but this was a pop and pour moment for a wine that probably would have benefitted from 30-40 minutes of air. So it wasn't giving away much at first, and by the time it was really showing its stuff, we were about done (5 people sharing the bottle for dinner). Ah well. It was our daughter's first dinner home after leaving for college, and she had her roommate and a high school buddy with her. An occassion that warranted the bottle, even if we didn't do it full justice. (2253 views) | | | Tasted by SteveHyde on 11/1/2004: At first, this bottle seemed a bit off. Not giving away much. Wondered if it were over the hill. Drank two small glasses, corked it and put it back in the fridge. Next day it had been transformed. Deep purple-black, sangiovese dominates the nose, slightly grainy tanins that are still holding the fruit at bay -- perhaps more so than two years ago. Becoming deeper and more complex. Soft finish. Very satisfying, especially for a 13 Euro wine. (2360 views) | | | Tasted by SteveHyde on 7/16/2004: One of my favorite everyday wines, and this one lived up to its strong track record. Deep purple-blueberry, beginning to shed baby fat but still full of primary fruit. Great for $13 in Italy. (1948 views) | | | Tasted by SteveHyde on 6/22/2004 flawed bottle: corked. The second bad bottle in a row. Not my night. But this is the first bottle from this producer I've ever had that was corked. And I drink this pretty regularly. (2037 views) |
