Poisey Likes this wine: 90 points
December 31, 2014 - Starting to decline, not as vibrant and fresh as it once was. Still this is fruity with blueberry, earth and perfume. Lovely and smooth with a finish that is starting to dry out. Drink these soon. I think it's peak was a few years ago. It all depends on your personal pallet though. It's a great wine it was just better to my tastes a few years ago.

August 29, 2013 - Very good! Had this with marbled sirloin. Perfect! Lots of red fruit slightly oaky, but very balanced. Lucky to have more of this in the cellar.

June 9, 2013 - Decanted 1 Hour. Round and fresh. Plumbs milk chocolate and red fruit galore in this merlot. Enticing nose that makes you want nothing else. Long finish fine tannin. A distinctly Italian Merlot. Love this one. Drink Now to 2018

PlanetX Does not like this wine:
December 30, 2012 - Massively over oaked which is a shame as it almost completely masks what would otherwise be an elegant effort. Terrible with food. On its own it is difficult to get beyond the oak splinters
