This wine is drinking perfectly now. So smooth with nothing to take away from the great Sangiovese wine. I wish I had bought more of this great QPR wine.

This vintage was perfectly ready to drink. All of the bitterness of the young wine was gone and the merlot-cab blend shone through to perfection. The wine was a perfect match for filet mignon sous vied and seared to perfection. I'm sorry that this was my last bottle.

Like many others reviewing this wine, I have finally come around to thinking it may have been a good buy! I bought a case several years ago because of a great review and a modest price. Then, every time I opened a bottle, I cursed the reviewer and poured out most of the bottle. The tannins never allowed any of the goodness to show forth. After not opening a bottle in about 5 years and with two bottles left, I opened a bottle to go with a steak tonight. I only opened the bottle after reading some very nice new reviews. I agree with the new reviews. This wine has settled down and will likely pair well with my grilled sirloin. This seems to be the wine I thought it may be but it will never, in my mind, rate higher than the low 90s, at best.
