Very opaque and dark. Feels like a good blend of deep and complex but not overly tanniny — 3 years ago
Past it’s prime. Sadly didn’t hold up. My last bottle of Sattui wine from my time there as Sr. VP of Operations. — 3 years ago

Exactly as you would expect of an AOC SR from a best in class producer. Dried cranberries, Shitake mushrooms, black tea, raspberry leaf. — 9 months ago
Without sounding too nostalgic, or bitter, I remember drinking these when Lapierre, Sr. Made them, & for under 16$. They always had a seriousness & rather proper backbone, at least by Beaujolais standards. At 3+ yrs, this was very approachable & starting to fill in its darker, more brooding character. Dark cherries, black currants. At almost 40$ now, it really is built for a longer haul. Would be worth a 5 yr check in. — 3 years ago
Happy Boxing Day 2022 from 🇭🇰! Ok. Bottle is done. Meal is complete. Honest review to follow. One — this wine. Serve this to anyone and they will be thrilled with its drink ability and balance coupled with depth and refinement. It’s Brunello de Montalcino’s finest (according to Sr and Sra Martinez). While service was a bit slow — where were we to go? Nowhere other than to people watch and enjoy the show. Technically it’s still alba truffle season; one tagliatelle order later (don’t ask the price); so happy. A dual of meat dishes: delightful (though don’t leave Danny alone w pomme purée) — but at the end of the day, it is the desserts that reign supreme. The sgroppino! The soufflé! Pannetone with mascarpone cream! The box of chocolates and truffles (and a side of limoncello). Visit at Christmas, we insist. This was a lovely visit at a staple favorite. 5 stars! — 2 years ago

Tempranillo with some Carbonic Maceration?!?!? I wanna like it but then not so much. You get these fresh fruit savory components on the front end; then on the back end, it sorta, just, dies off. There’s this tingly acidity on the finish but that’s about it. Fun trying it thought. — 6 days ago
