  Un nez sur le sous-bois, légèrement humide avec une opulence de fruits mures. La bouche est suave, plein de fruits mure, du bleuet, avec une bonne dose de minéralité. C'est hyper élégant avec un tannins très fin. Le vin possède une belle richesse, c'est excellent mais je ne payerais pas les prix du marché actuel.

  Lackluster showing. Pop and pour had an alluring nose of sweet dried cherry, dried herbs and balsam then it quickly went into a dumb phase where the palate was dry and tannic and flavors became one dimensional. A touch of VA detected as well. It's absolutely dreadful what the prices are going for these days when the wine doesn't live up to the quality/pedigree. I've had my fair share of wines from Pepe with only a few being good/very good but not what I would call great or exceptional - I don't get the hype anymore

  Like many Pepe wines, this is both interesting and multi-faceted. Popped and poured, and on opening this felt like a big wine, but with air the palate is becoming more focused - good acidity and persistence here. Complex nose. I like this, although I had the 2005 a couple weeks ago and I think I prefer that wine.

  During an Italian walkabout tasting, so only short impressions. Montepulciano grape varietal. I had better samples of this wine. This bottles smelled strongly of salad herbs (oregano, thyme, rosemarry, majoram). Some farmyard funk as well, bretty. Acceptable but not sure this was a representative bottle. If I had to rate, I would say 91pt. NR

  A brawny beast.....earthy and full bodied....my first experience with this producer but hopefully there will be more....opaque purple with muted aromatics but a kaleidoscope of flavor....we paired it with homemade manicotti but great by the fireside as well.....My guess is that five more years in the cellar would be good then enjoy it anytime after that....one has to wonderful how many great wines like this have been lost to our desire for “modern” wine?
