Decanted for about 2 hours. Broken cork that seemed dried out and I couldn’t get out of the bottle. Filtered the wine into the decanter.

Wine had the classic Valdicava aromas that are unique and alluring. Almost like a Sangiovese / Cabernet blend and mix of dark fruit, cocoa. I can’t describe as much as I can always recognize it.

Wine was very good. Not the best expression of this wine but solid.

Exceptional quality - beautiful balance of velvet tannin, lingering black cherry, plum, dried herbs and clove and emerging notes of forest floor and leather. A beautiful wine. — 6 days ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 01.15.25 (9.3). Slightly more reticent than the last visit but still rocking the chunky vibe and hella value. 05.23.25. — 19 days ago

Same wine I tasted 2.5 years ago. Yea, old me. It did need some time and now it’s singing. Damn. I may be convinced. Chocolate, some caramel flavors and oak presence in a good way. Okay. I’m convinced. 2018 — 25 days ago

2019 vintage. Resto cost $40.10 a bottle on two 6packs. Woof. Drinking great now but could use 6 months-2 years to really decorate the place. 06.04.25. — 8 days ago

Beautiful wine. Dusty tannins. Black cherry with faint herbs. Probably would benefit from a decant — 9 days ago

We had the 2010 Vintage on 5/26-27/25. An excellent Brunello with tastes and scents of red cherry, leather, herbs and spice. Tannins all smoothed out. Medium bodied, Old World and well balanced. This got better with time. — 16 days ago
