  My last bottle. This is gorgeous stuff w/ wonderful cab fruit, no tannin and everything you want wine to become with age. I wish I had more

  at La Primavera OL. A good wine not in a style I like. Rather obvious. Showed well given the rest of the lineup.

  This is just a killer Cab. What so many wines aspire to, but few achieve. I think this was about $50 CDN (at the time $32 USD). Unbelievable. Kicks the a$$ off so many "Super-Tuscans" that have better marketing than product. This wine is from an estate that was owned by the Bonaparte (as in Napoleon) family. It is in the less-known Marche region of Italy. This wine was dense (without being heavy), ripe (without being over-ripe), powerful (without being over-extracted). Balanced. Approachable. I'm soooo sad I don't have more. Recommended by the owner of Marquis in Vancouver, but I was too dumb to buy more of it. Even after I saw the 3 Glasses from G.R. Doh!!!
