  April 24, 2023 - Popped and poured
  Dark fruit (black cherry, slight blueberry), spice, earth, slight lavender, slight garrigue, good acidity. Some tannins. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

  January 11, 2021 - Opened about 30 minutes before drinking. Olive on nose. Paired well with arrabbiata pasta dish. Faded after a couple of hours. Pleased with how it aged overall however.

  May 2, 2016 - Has aged well and is quite mature. Dried fruit with an abundance of softened tannins left. Subtle olive as well. Paired with meaty lasagna for dinner but would also go really well with a nice grilled steak. Opened about 15 minutes and the fruit started fading after about an 1 hour which was perfect as the bottle went fast!

  April 5, 2013 - Beautifully aged Montefalco wine with a great personality. Composition:100 percent Sagrantino, the indigenous grape variety grown only in the Montefalco area. Maturation: 15 months in small French oak barrels, then 6 months in stainless steel tanks, followed by a further 6 month's refinement in the bottle prior to release. Concentrated dark red in color without the slightest hint of evolution and a complex nose crammed with ripe plum fruit, dark chocolate, leather and a touch of tar. The powerful but elegantly balanced palate offers abundant ripe red berry fruit, a compact structure and massive but velvety tannins. Long and delicious finish. This wine is superbly drinking now, but can certainly be enjoyed until 2017.
  
  Schitterende, fraai uitgerijpte Montefalco-wijn met een geweldige persoonlijkheid. Samenstelling: 100 procent Sagrantino, een autochtone druivensoort die uitsluitend in de streek van Montefalco aangebouwd wordt. Rijping: 15 maanden in kleine Franse eiken vaten, dan 6 maanden op roestvrij staal, gevolgd door een nog aanvullende rijping van 6 maanden in de fles. Geconcentreerde, donkerrode kleur zonder enig spoor van evolutie, en een complexe neus boordevol aroma’s van rijp pruimenfruit, donkere chocolade, leder en een vleugje teer. Een krachtige maar mooi uitgebalanceerde wijn, met pakken rijp rood bessenfruit, een compacte structuur en opulente maar fluwelige tannines. Lange, heerlijke afdronk. Deze wijn is nu prachtig op dronk, en blijft dit zeker nog tot in 2017.

  December 23, 2012 - Decanted 2 hrs. Still youthful, quite tannic/massive in profile. Vibrant ruby in color. Dark fruits on the nose. Medium-to-long finish. Still has a long life ahead.
