November 18, 2017 - Wow. Big, beautiful Italian red. Cherry on nose and in mouth; bramble and stone; just enough acidity to balance the fruit. Was worth the cost and I wish I had waited longer to open. Would drink well into the future.

January 4, 2017 - Great wine with well balanced fruit, acidity and tannin, bottle needed 2,5 hours to breath
Still another 5-8 years to go -

April 15, 2016 - Big, chewy, dark cherry, leather; in short, an excellent wine that lives up to its reputation and price. Drinking well now, but will last.

February 11, 2015 - I agree with the WS rating of 95 pts. WA only gave it 87. Silky tannins and great balance. I am not real good at describing the flavors. I tasted more sangiovese than merlot. Plenty of fruit with mineral flavors. Silky smooth and a long finish. I bought 5 bottles from the winery after a tour last summer. The wine is so delicious that I ordered another case from the winery. About $92 per bottle including freight. I do not get the WA rating at all, and I usually agree with RP's ratings.
