9.2

2023 vintage. $120+ a bottle resto cost. I mean it’s nice but for that pricing and what I’d hafta charge for it? Hard pass. The new Antinori stuff (don’t ask about the whites) not working for me. Praying that their purchased property-Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars-has current offerings showing better for the pricing. Not holding my breath tho. 4.29.26. — a day ago

2024 vintage. Courtesy of @Pinotman /// Andreas. Like being in a maze of disappointing dead-ends and directional difficulties. Was only missing a minotaur. Had there been one, may have been an improvement. Thank you, @Pinotman /// Andreas ! 4.29.26. — a day ago

2020 vintage. Tasted after being open overnight (roughly 18 hours by the time it got to me) and was showing nicely with balanced fruit and structure in the first half. Second half had Amarone fruit overtones. Trying to revisit in the next two weeks with a fresh bottle. Tasting between the vines...er...lines...tempted to throw it a 9.3 with the pricing being slightly high to performance. In good conscience, can't rate/won't rate. — a day ago

8.8

2017 vintage. Light-medium body. Opened, then decanted. Tasted over the course of two hours multiple times at temps between 57-72 degrees. Some raspberry. Some tea flavors. A little dirt/earth. Somewhat disappointing tho...mostly on a thinnish finish. Maybe it's just in a state of transition/dumb phase or an "off" bottle but not obviously neglected or abused. Wasn't expecting the world but was hoping for half a continent. Doesn't even deliver an archipelago. Not a good showing for this premmie cru jooce. Grrr. 4.25.26. — 5 days ago
