Heavy petrol-anise nose, focused, grape that descends with fire into a mint, anise, and steely spearmint gum and lingers til the ancestors come home!!! Delicious! #grappaglass #grappa #brunello — 9 years ago
Delicious - winter herbs and cocoa dance delicately yet with density due to the cellaring. 7 full years old :) — a month ago
Nice with Pat’s lasagna ($18). Also enjoyed with lamb stuffed squash. Had again (March 2024) with pork tenderloin. Delicious Sangiovese. — 10 months ago
Quite nice but not at the level of the La Gerla. Still, balanced with good earth and a bit of meaty funk on the finish. Good acid. Excellent pairing with a leg of lamb. — 9 years ago

Outstanding 2016 bottle — 3 months ago
German chocolate cake and bacon fat, brooding black cherry and reishi mushroom. Smoky tallow, madura leaf, blackberries, black currant, black roses and African violets, yellowing bamboo and plums for leagues. Black cherry carries the heavy mouthfeel up and over the palate with an overt lard and tallow signature. Depth and complexity ensue. This is rich and refined, well-integrated in terms of tannin and perfectly balanced; a glorious expression of Montalchino! This is rarefied quality and reins in its fruit with a graphite mesh that supports the aforementioned. Incredible.

2019 vintage. PNP'd. Light-medium body. Consistent palate push throughout. Above average spice detail on the finish tho not nearly as complex or aggressive as the excellent 2016 effort. Total newb that could use a mandatory 5-7 to reconcile...issues. 10.22.24. — a month ago
