  July 19, 2018 - LOVE this wine. Brought back from Italy and the 3 prior were all wonderful (prior to cellartracker). Crisp after decanting for about 10-15 minutes. Fully blackberry and vanilla flavors, elegant. Provided a glass to our restaurant owner & friend.....He was jealous. The finish was long and beautiful

  July 24, 2013 - This wine was awesome right out of the bottle, and got better after 30 minutes of air in the glass. The color had some light bircking at the edges, but otherwise fairly dark. The nose had lots of red dusty fruits, some mocha and cinnamon. The wine on the palate was smooth and slick at first but with a little air it swelled to be more plush. The acid was in perfect balance with the fruit and texture, the flavors in the mouth matched the nose, maybe some blue fruits added but nice lively red fruits.
  
  The previous reviewer nailed it with the 3-4 year wait, this thing is in the perfect drinking window. Getting primary, secondary, and tertiary flavors. I picked this up for $20 on clearance a couple years ago so awesome QPR for me.

  Fantastic boquet, Requires few hours on caraff begore drinking. The power of this wine requires dominant food. Perfect with Brie de Meau
