Wonderfully aged, this wine is one of the best in yrs. Blackberry, chocolate, a hint of tobacco and violets, smooth as silk with a super long finish... what more could you ask for. I think this is in the perfect drinking window as I opened and let sit for 20 minutes, poured and Enjoyed! May have a few more yrs but I wouldn't wait long for the fruit to disappear. A one and only and better than the only other Altamura (2009)I have enjoyed.

We love this wine …. and as it is our last … we’d like to say, “Thanks for the wonderful Memories” Still tastes wonderful so no need to rush if you have some left.
Blackberry and Raspberry and spice … what’s not to like … tannins have mellowed making this silky smooth with lasting finish.

First off this is a super great wine. Drinking this for my brothers 60th birthday. Highly recommend. Now on to the review. Slightly tannic. I think another 5 years of life is accurate. Slightly spicy. Great first taste with a long finish.

Deep extraction. Still seems young at 12 years. Medium tannins. Full mouth feel. Long finish. Intense fruit typical of Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon.
