11/18/2022 - Always4wine Likes this wine: 93 pointsWow. I wasn't sure how this wine would hold up after being shipped from Italy and stored all these years. It is perfect right now - at its prime. Meaty and dark with a smooth silky mouth. So glad it is cold and rainy I have a fireplace and a beagle to enjoy this wine with! |

4/28/2020 - Always4wine Likes this wine: 85 pointsAs fun as I remember it from the winery! Almost like an alcoholic strawberry wine cooler. Super fun on a HOT day in quarantine. Held up well at 13 celsius - way over the hill but did not taste old at all. |

The color is divine. I read the back label and David Tate says this can cellar for 10 years - well its 2020 folks and it is amazing!! |
