  July 2, 2019 - So huge surprise to still have this 2006 in my cellar. After reading some of the tasting notes from 2013 that suggested that it was slightly over the hill, I didn’t know what to expect. Enjoying it now with some pasta with veggies and sausage and it’s still awesome. You might argue the flavors aren’t as rich and deep as a newer vintage but they are still balanced with integrated tannins. Acid still comes through, making it excellent with tomato based sauces. Great job Benessere!

  October 1, 2013 - Nice bouquet upon opening. Let it sit a little. Then it will be more enjoyable. I think this was just a little past its prime

  November 30, 2012 - last of 4 bottles, and I had somehow forgotten what a pleasant surprise this was for the WTSO price of $16/free shipping. was a bit awkward on opening but really opens up nicely in the glass. soft smooth mouthfeel (after 15 minutes in glass) and gentle plum notes. very well enjoyed.
