Has a light fragrance of spice and dark berries. Drinks smoothly and is light on the palate, while having some body and having a nice jammy feel and flavors!
Definitely worth the $20-$25 from Costco for the big 3L bottle!! — 10 months ago

The incredibly rare and legendary 2000 vintage and a Montepulciano that’s simply in a league of its own! It took some time in the decanter to shed an initial funk and whiff of VA which had me worried but ultimately did, and showed fabulously. There’s an alluring “wildness” to this wine that’s just so intriguing. It’s incredibly complex, layered with aromas of dried red fruit, game, exotic spice, coffee beans, violets and a menthol freshness. Time in bottle has added elegance and detail and the palate is unbelievably silky with a finish that keeps on going. Special wine. — 8 months ago
