Dark garnet. Inviting nose and medium full palate of black currant, black cherry, and a hint of patent leather mid palate to finish. Solid, medium plus acidity. Medium tannins. And that finish is fairly long, even cutting through pasta with tomato sauce. An excellent entree into Bolgheri: Cabernet-led but still squarely in the Italian mold. Drink now through 2030 with classic Cabernet or Italian fare. — a year ago

Ruby red, lighter color than expected. Word that comes to mind is freshness. Lighter bodied and never grew over 4 hours being open. Got hints of deeper cab notes but they never blossomed. Curious if they will with some more age — 2 years ago

Surprisingly good (for the price) supertuscan. Had this wine at the recommendation of a friend of the vineyard owner, and had misgivings that it was a biased recommendation, but it exceeds all expectations. Very solid heavy berry fruits, peppery hints, taste lingers well after the gulp. For the price, I think this hits all the right notes. — 10 years ago
