Golden yellow Very nice straw stony white floral notes on a12 year old wine under screw cap! Acidic and lighted texture long finish. Impressive — 5 months ago
Smooth, dry, medium body, lemon accents, paired very well with linguine à la vongele. — 7 months ago
This is a serious wine - understated, tannic, alot going on. Agree w other reviewers that this vintage may be a bit young to crack open - didn't feel fully integrated yet. — a month ago
Fascinating to have a wine older than me. Smell was raisins - reminded me of amarone — 3 months ago

98 was not a great vintage and why Giacosa bottled the SS as a red label has long been a bit of a mystery. There’s a lot in this wine to like, and no reason to leave it sitting in the cellar. Fully mature, ample bricking, softer but still lively fruit, rich mouthfeel with classic sous bois, a bit of iron, red berry and herbal overlay, and soft maybe a bit overripe tannin. Lovely, but not near Giacosa’s most memorable SSRs. — 2 months ago
Grapefruit heaven. A beautiful Sauvignon Blanc blend with three V white grapes. Strong citrus nose. Expensive but delicious. — 2 months ago
This is the type of wine I really enjoy. Earthy, not too dry, not sweet. A little dry, but not to make you pucker, medium tannins, NOT fruit forward (thank god). It tastes like an Italian red wine. Served it with a bolognese-ish pasta. Worked well, very enjoyable. Sangiovese, merlot and petit verdot. — 5 months ago
