January 8, 2022 - Still drinking great. Beautiful bouquet, smooth, complex. Can't imagine it will get any better but doesn't seem to be in any danger of expiring anytime soon either. 93

November 27, 2018 - Fantastic. We usually don't have Cabs from Italy very often, but when we do, we are usually pleasantly surprised. I really like the structure of this one in particular. Medium weight but heavy on flavor. Tannins are mostly resolved, great fruit flavor which is kept in balance with mineral and a touch of oak. Clear, maroon color, nose a bit reserved but long finish. Drinking great now and should for next 3-5 years - at least.

February 6, 2016 - Great showing. Pop and pour seemed fine, but ti was a bit cold from the cellar. By the time it warmed, the bottle was drained. Ruby/purple in color. The nose has dark cherries, cassis, some licorice and some spice. Medium to full bodied. Complex and deep. Tight layering that unwinds in the glass. Delicious fruit but really complex. Nice acidity that worked great with dinner. Nice finish. Sadly, my last bottle.

July 12, 2013 - This is kind of a new world take on Italian/Tuscan Cabernet. Still dark purple. Clearly, this wine has had plenty of the high end treatment regarding elevage and oak exposure. The oak is fully integrated. Muted nose. Kind of chewy. Definitely has cassis as well as bell pepper. Firm tannins and zippy acidity. This wine is drinking very well now and will hold for years to come. This wine has stuffing!

April 18, 2013 - Really delicious Tuscan rendition of Cabernet...terrific acidity underlies cassis, cherry and blackberry. Very fresh wine with complete Tuscan character overshadowing the varietal itself....Oak has completely integrated. Nice minerality...
