i drank 6 bottles of this over the past week at various Christmas festivities. Highly variable results, and the score indicates the best bottles. 3 of the bottles had tight corks, and were really very very good. Medium gold color. Baked apple, bread and citrus flavors. This wine was probably best drunk a couple years ago, but these 3 bottles showed well and I enjoyed them all as did the friends and family. 1 of the other bottles had a very loose cork, and showed significant oxidization and almost no bubbles. Did not finish the bottle. The last 2 also had loose corks, and had some oxidization, but not as severe as the one. We drank them, and they were pleasant, but not up to snuff.

Gala Dinner of La Festa del Barolo (Del Posto Restaurant, NYC): [Very big bottle, 6L?] Yeasty, sour. Not much.
