January 20, 2023 - Two and a half hour decant. Very deep dark slightly hazy magenta color. Boysenberry, plum, blackberry, violet, baker’s chocolate, salted caramel, and subtle fennel. Very velvety, dry palate, with nice, silty acidity. Firm, full tannins on the longish finish.
Very nicely integrated. Way too easy drinking. Could use perhaps a touch more complexity, but it’s great nonetheless. -

August 19, 2022 - Enjoyable, strong but restrained fruit, but ultimately not worth the price and def some excessive reviews here. Big and smooth but a bit two dimensional .

December 13, 2021 - Four hour decant. Nearly opaque ruby color. Black cherry, plum, dark raspberry, violet, angel food cake, and cinnamon-laced salted caramel on the beautiful, complex nose. Super smooth, dense, tongue drying palate, with fine, lingering acidity. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the long finish.
This has terrific overall texture and integration. The sweet notes were not all simultaneously present, adding nice complexity. Just a terrific, fruit forward Cab.1 person found this helpful Comment -

September 24, 2021 - I normally love Bulgheroni’s wines — some of my favorites — but I thought the alcohol in this was almost enough to set my eyebrows on fire. Do not drink this near an open flame!
