October 19, 2012 - Still a steal, but it's finally getting tired. I didn't do it any favors leaving it in the house during the last heat wave. Still, varietally correct, light, nimble, and I'd buy another bottle if I knew it had been stored decently. Sadly, I doubt the Buoncristiani guys are going to make this again. Certainly not for this price--who knows what they expected to get for it in the first place?
September 19, 2012 - This is a steal. I've had a few of them, and they are accurate PN with a so-so nose, agile fruit, some raspberry and strawberry, not an overbearing cola or oak profile. Made by the Buoncristiani guys, who get top dollar for their cabs, this is a solid Friday night PN with roasted chicken for a price that cannot be beat. Holding up very well at 6 years old. I think it has finally disappeared from the shelves for good, however.
May 8, 2012 - Can't do better for price. Dusty, dry berries and plums. Slightly thin mouth feel, but overall a pleasant quaffer at a bargain price.
April 30, 2012 - Berries and alcohol on the nose, more berries, slightly dry, mild tannin aftertaste, med to long finish. Good.
April 14, 2012 - Light clear red. Still fruit in the nose. Dry, light fruit palate. At six years old, still very pleasant. A great deal at $7 (groc outlet) since this retails in the $20s.
