Previously used Coravin to pour a glass. Today fully opened bottle. Definitely could use a few years of aging to possibly help,but not certain this is a bottle to use cellaring space. I will let this wine open a bit. Tasting more like a flabby Pinot noir at the moment. Will add notes if it improves in the next hour or so. Finished bottle at lunch today (Oct4) Wine was a bit softer with better mouth feel,but not much better than than a cheap cask wine. 4 or 5 buck chuck? Sure hope the next bottle ages well , but cannot imagine that it will. Short finish, little body, few tannns I n 2nd day. Will revise score from 88 to a solid 80.

Cab / Merlot / Sangiovese. And lots of herb on the nose. Doesn't taste like its got Cab and Merlot. 30 cab and 20 merlot and the rest sangiovese. Elegant and very balanced.

This was quite disappointing. Very woody, not much fruit, slightly out of balance. Overall, just a bit of a dud. Would not buy again.

Take a pass. Never really performs ... like Sting. See what I did there?

Been drinking this since the 2006 vintage. Never disappoints. Nice bodied wine to go with anything from pizza to osso bucco.
