Legit delicious and one of the best I’ve had in a while. Mellow and lush, great rounded acids and softened tannins. Good tar, cocoa powder, prunes, stewed mushroom, soil, dried roses and violets, touch of vanilla. Decanted 4 hours before opening. Probably from Flatiron Wines?

Despite coming from an extremely hot growing season, this fragrant pleases from the start with a floral hint. Little hint of cherry and long silky finish. Beautiful juice that, like many Piedmonte wine, is quite Burgundian in character. — 9 days ago

Tasted on Saturday 8 February 2025.
I could sense a subtle sweetness and fruitiness. At first, it was fiery and intense, but it gradually transitioned into a faint yet remarkable long-lasting aftertaste.

Jumped back on the horse with an 08 when the 99 proved fake. This one was the real deal. Wasn’t the best Monfortino though. Decanted and let it open for several hours while the Super Bowl unfolded. Go Eagles!!! Layered and foreboding. It didn’t have the best balance with the fruit but it was nonetheless a weighty joy. — a day ago

“Please don’t call it regular”…. more bricking than expected at 10 years old. But tasted fresh. An hour decant helped. — 8 days ago

Very rich and smooth. Tannins completely integrated. Various red fruits, not all cherry. Red plum, pomegranate. And violets. And oak, but in the background. — 7 days ago

This is a blend of mostly Barolo with a tad of Barbaresco Nebbiolo. It is bright as can be, full of red cherry, a whiff of earth and something even a tad sanguine. It is tasty and ready to drink now but could use more integration — a month ago

Expressive nose with orange peel, coffee, fennel, lemmon, complex. Medium bodied with the bitterness and tannin harshness of Barolo. A baby. Clean, long, with a sense of place. Tannins are tough right now — 2 days ago

Not ready yet. Beautiful wine, but this needs some cellar time. — a month ago
