January 18, 2021 - I don't think it will improve anymore
but it was very good, it went great with Osso Bucco
September 13, 2020 - I’m schocked that this wine is still as good as it is. Good fruit and nice acidity and great color.
June 24, 2016 - The Sangiovese was unmistakable, both in the nose and in the mouth. However, maybe its my bottle but this is starting to fall apart. Very open, flavor of plums. Not much complexity.
January 3, 2016 - Christmas Eve with a nice pizza. I know, I know, pizza on Christmas Eve. Well, we moved into our new house the night before and that was our only way to feed ourselves. Wine was fabulous and made us forget our traditional "Seven Fishes."
November 16, 2015 - The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor, raisin and apple. It tastes like plum and raspberry. The body is light/medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has medium acidity.
December 25, 2012 - Well balanced acidity and tannins. Perfectly integrated and drinking beautifully right now. Perfumed nose, sour cherries lingering on the palate.
October 26, 2012 - Purchased at the winery. Opened and let it breath in bottle for 1 hr. Aromas of red fruits with cedar dominating. Black fruit flavors up front with black cherries, blueberries and currants. Very smooth wine with supple sweet tannins and elegant finish. Nice acidity which is very much in balance with the fruit and tannins. Probably at it's peak now. Long aftertaste of at least 90 seconds. Better than I expected given the so so vintage.
April 9, 2012 - Sweet, red fruit. Strawberry (a little candied) on the nose. Quite restrained and tight - I had the regular 03 bottling recently and found something similar. Perhaps a dumb phase.
July 10, 2011 - Brief notes from vacation. Pop and pour. Slightly sour cherries, oak, a bit of a dusty note, bit of minerality, and some tannins that make me think this still needs 2-3 more years.
January 9, 2011 - Absolutely wonderful nose; on the palate this shows medium body, cherries and nice acidic bite. Medium finish.
