This is an absolutely beautiful wine but strangely disappointing if the 2007 is your reference wine. Apricot, Peach, Honey with very good acidity. Needs more time. — 24 days ago

Against all my principles. I think Italians should have Italian grapes. But, this is truly outstanding, the smoothness of mature merlot and still the color has barely faded after 17 years. My one and only bottle. — 24 days ago

Very delicate and balanced rosso. Drinks well now but could benefit from a year or two cellaring. Very fine tannins. Blood orange and slate, highly perfumed. Delicious from a top producer. — a month ago

Two great thanksgiving wines but with a very clear winner and not even difficult to guess. I have zero emotion with the Margaux and love the elegance of the Rayas even in a year that may be a bit less. — 23 days ago

Terrific effort and great value. Strawberries, cherries, plum and slate. Medium body, very spicy with great length. Best to wait a couple more years but delicious now. — 25 days ago

Absolute master piece. Incredible balance between acidity and sweetness. Layers and layers of tropical fruit, extremely complex. Is there anything that quintarelli does that is not excellent ? Best of all got a 10 pct discount on the already great price because nobody drinks “sweet” wines. — a month ago

Silky tannins, black cherries and strawberries. Evolving nicely in the glass. Fine now but will become more complex and has a long life in front of it. — a month ago
