Acquired new. Absolutely wonderful and why we love Italian wines. I do not share the enthusiasm for a long life ahead and believe it is fully mature with fruit not as vigorous as a prior bottle last year and suggest no more than 5 years at the most.

Acquired new. 2 hour decant but frankly not really necessary. Fully mature and perfect CDP. Cannot afford Chateau Rayas and this is a nice substitute. Always been a fan of this producer as they are consistently well made.

I am glad others enjoyed this wine. I thought it was undrinkable as did others at our dinner. A overly sweet red and not at all in a good way like a Porto. Nothing resembling a Pinot nor a Zin as others enjoyed. Not sure what to do with the remaining case of this I bought on a whim.

Although my take on Josh selling is a little different.
Josh's legacy is written. Now his nest egg is complete and his family is set. Happy times. Can't go on forever. Hope the wines do not change.
