November 8, 2018 - Very different from any other sweet wine I've tasted. Quite sweet, but not syrupy or heavy, it was balanced and paired perfectly with duck a l'orange. The nose was lovely with dark berry jam, savory dried spices, dried fruit, and citrus peel. I hoped for more complexity and with about an hour of air it developed quite well, and was better still the following day. The palate was really nice, very long and dynamic. The acidity is still there though just on the edge of enough for me so unless you like your sweet wines ultra soft I would drink now.

December 10, 2017 - Part of an awesome blind tasting, 1st time drinking this wine and it held it's own against a stellar lineup including Pavie, Haut Brion, Musar, The Maiden, Luce brunello and others. Too many wines tasted to give an accurate impression, but "what a night"

October 3, 2016 - Granato. Al naso predominano le sensazioni salmastre (pasta d’olive), macchia e rosmarino, pepe, una breve pungenza tipicamente “naturale”. Dolce ma non stucchevole, lungo su note di frutta in confettura

May 19, 2016 - Nowhere near as sweet a ruby port (which is what I was expecting) it even had a touch of bitterness. But I really loved it, and ended up just sipping it instead of ordering dessert.

June 14, 2015 - Open a couple hours and paired with dark chocolate mousse which is a challenge to most red dessert wines. This was so magical a combination as the red fruit of sagrantino grape showed thru and was the star of the combination. Not overtly sweet and great concentration and smoothness.
