  June 2, 2011 - I think I caught this one just in time. Nice to see how a 10 year old Riserva stood up. A bit of bricking but not too severe. Nice nose of earth and red fruits. A little leather. Tannins were smooth finish was medium in length. The second night a lot of the palate was missing but still enjoyable. Drink now....this seems to fading.

  May 4, 2009 - Good stuff this. Foreward fruit (cherries, cassis), cedar, earthy, meaty, really quite complex. Sweet on the palate.

  April 5, 2008 - I was expecting to find this wine little beyond prime. Very surprised. A tremendous amount of depth and structure. Classic tuscan nose of earth, sour cherry. Good tannic grip. Long finish. A little over extracted (I think there is a tiny amount of cab sav and merlot in the wine, still meeting CCR criteria), but an excellent wine worth seeking out.

  March 2, 2008 - This wine was stored upright in a grocery store for who knows how long so I was a little apprehensive about it but it turned out very nice. Well structured and fairly complex. Earthyness, sour cherries, chocolate covered raspberries, various herbs at one time or another. Showed no signs of fading as we finished the last glasses 3-4 hours after opening the bottle. Nice match with a veal chop, though I probably put a bit too much pepper on it. Very enjoyable, and still seems to have some time it could possibly improve in if you wanted to wait longer.
