  February 23, 2024 - Decanted for sediment returned to bottle after 30 minutes of aeration. Totally on point now with some years still ahead. This is full and joyous on the mid palate and long finish. I was surprised to see 15,0% abv as it never once showed itself, but therein lies the magic of Giampiero's hand. Sadly my last one. highly recommended

  January 31, 2024 - Love this wine. Great with steak, pork, chicken, pasta. Very versatile and a lot of personality. Sorry I don’t have specific notes it’s been a while since I last had it.

  December 16, 2023 - Brought by John. Anise, herbs, bark, and dark cherries with plums on the nose. Palate with Plums, dark cherries, bitter chocolate, herbs and bark. My notes says tannins which prob means that there were still plenty of it. Nice finish. As with most Bea wines, this had plenty of soul and very much enjoyed this. 92+

  September 10, 2023 - Drinking great from first taste to last. No decant needed. Lovely dusky black cherry, cherry, leather, some earth/mineral, nose has light layering fruit, floral, herb initially. Nice combination of age and freshness in the fruit, after a couple of hours by end of dinner dark fruit really dominated. Good balance, length, perfect tannin for moderate body. Drink up.

  August 20, 2023 - A generous present from Philip Chan: Our favorite Paolo Bea wine -- one of our favorite wines, period -- is the 100% sagrantino Pagliaro. This one is mostly Sangiovese (with 15% sagrantino and 15% montepulciano). It has the Bea style, without the full-on wildness of the Pagliaro -- lovely, leathery flavor, a lot of tannin, dark blackberry fruitedness. The tannin, which persisted all the way through the last glass, is more exciting than intimidating, and so the wine is drinkable now, but will last for a long time.
