  I really liked how balanced this wine was. We let this bottle breathe for an hour, but it could have used a decanter to open up even more. The nose was less pronounced than expected and prevented me from adding further points. But the the palette had a harmonious balance that I really enjoyed. Also got unsolicited comments from another guest during dinner about how good it was. I think this was great cost performance.

  Decanted for 3 hrs. Beautiful perfumed nose but palate felt a bith tight and toned down. Was a great companion to a Ragu, the tannins really needed some meat to balance out. Will try and hold rest of my bottles for as long as possible. This will get better over 10+ years.

  This was hella good. I opened the bottle and slow ox’d (after pouring myself a healthy Sensory glass) for two hours before drinking with grilled lamb loin chops. I was happy as soon as I opened the bottle, but it definitely improved over the drinking. The whole table was happy with the wine. It’s a very La Morra wine in the best way possible, and I wish I had more. Ethereal aromatics even at this age. Persistent fruit with firm but smooth and integrated tannins. This is in the zone now, but it has plenty of time to continue a positive evolution for at least a decade. Yes sir. Thank you, sir. May I have another?

  What a deep, and beautiful, wine. I feel like I live two floors above the Montezemolo Gattera, but I can distinctly detect the deep aspects of flavor and mouthfeel - DEEP. 100% enjoyable. Drawbacks? The nose is not as prominent as you might wish. 50/5/12/18/9

  Chocolate and red cherry, rather pronounced and beautiful too. Tight and refined on the palate as well.
