November 8, 2019 - Opened gradually with air exposure in the glass. Still kind of simple and lacking in complexity. However, no significant flaws or distractions, so all in all I thought it showed as expected
April 21, 2019 - Sur les notes secondaires. Très peu de tertiaires à ce point.
Style bordelais.
Pizza maison.
November 18, 2017 - Fully mature. Drinks like Cru Bordeaux. Had against its big Ornellaia brother and this held very well. Cassis, black currants and other dark fruits along with leather, cedar and toast. There is a hint of overripe fruits which announces we are at the other side of the curve. This is drinking well, and it is time to drink it.

November 18, 2017 - Wonderful!
September 27, 2014 - dark plummy, slightly woody, fruit, good texture, bitter grainy tannins, very nice but not exciting. might develop for a few more years
September 22, 2013 - Disagreement between my wife and I on this one. She enjoyed it very much. I thought the nose was good; but I felt the wine was not very integrated; perhaps past it's prime.
April 21, 2013 - Average. Expected more for that price
April 15, 2013 - Quite ok. Typical sangiovese. After drinking the 2008 I expected a bit more from a wine, which was cellaring for 8 years more.
March 29, 2013 - Only had 1 glass but very good balance with sour black cherry ,black current flavor profile. Tannin still there but mellowed nicely. Would drink now or hold 3 to 5yrs
October 27, 2012 - A fine example of mature Bolgheri wine; intense, slightly spicy fruit, with blackcurrant and a touch of vanilla; quite thick textured, still lively and with good length.
