bit shy, needed some time in the decanter - translucent ruby colored, lots of violets and spice, sour cherry and bing cherry, rhubarb, tar, sweet soil, really complex on nose, med weight w/firm tannic grip, flavors from nose on mid palate, nice finish. paired with smoked ribs and it really worked - Father's day treat. i have another of these, believe this is in the pocket right now. *more Barbaresco than Brunello — a day ago

Beautiful wine. Dusty tannins. Black cherry with faint herbs. Probably would benefit from a decant — 14 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. — 21 days ago

This bottle didn’t live up to the brand

Decanted for 1 hour before dinner.

Really needed food. This wine was dark and not enjoyable unless paired with rich food.

Overall - okay but not what I expect from this winery. Maybe an off bottle from auction — a day 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. — 13 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. — 24 days ago
