Medium ruby colour , ruby rim. Quite fresh and slightly spicy on the nose , violets , red plum , spicy blackberry and some redder fruits also , cherry and raspberry, freshly cut herbs . On the palate more strawberry and raspberry notes , with cherry tart , herbal hints . Quite fresh and dusty tannins and good cherry and blackberry , saline tinged finish . Needs a bit of time , maybe another 5 years , will last well for a further 10-15. Promising , well balanced and elegantly made . — 6 days ago

Maremma Toscana IGT 2008, 14%. Blend of 5 grapes, aged 18 months in wood, and 18 months in the bottle. Drank in 2014 is perfect: still fresh in the mouth, but round and elegant. 88/100 — 11 years ago

Considered the star of the CdA lineup, and similar to their chiantis which all have some Merlot blended in, but this was too much Merlot for me - had that plasticity I don’t love — 2 months ago

Had it July 2013.
Monumental!! 22years it seems bottle today. Blackberry and leather over the all mass, but more than the nose what is really astonishing is the palate. We had it after L'Apparita 1989 and we completely removed that wine away from our mind in one second. The tannin, OMG😱, the centre of the mouth, it all reminds you of a top French wine. Absolutely moving and inspiring❤️❤️ — 8 years ago

Splendid wine. The Merlot and vintage bring a splendid Bordeaux taste to this wine. Got it from Laeti bought at Sherry Lehman for $39. — 7 years ago
