Earthy and not giving away much initially, was worried after 20 mins. By 30 it blossomed, full on cassis and vanilla tannins, undergrowth. Dark red fruit, Rutherford dust. Notwithstanding a Bordeaux vibe there was no mistaking this for anything but a high-end Napa cab. Awesome one at that. I wouldn’t wait much longer… — 3 days ago

Bought in 2005 at the bargain price of $22. I’d been saving it. Worth the wait. It was absolutely delicious, old school, refined, Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon at its peak. If I could only drink one wine for the rest of my life, this would be it (assuming availability). — 4 years ago

Yes, this is liquid luxury, on a pnp, young, and off vintage (fires). Can’t wait to try one with some years on it. — 2 months ago

Deep ruby colored. Plum, cassis, red fruit. Full bodied. Tight on the open, aeration required now. But during dinner it kept getting better and better as it opened. First 2017 I’ve tried, I’ll wait several years for the rest. Beautiful long finish and gorgeous mouth feel. Spectacular wine that’ll get even better with time. — 3 years ago

Worth the wait. High alcohol is my only con. Very enjoyable at home with Lucia salumi. — 4 years ago

Promising red fruit on the nose but a bit too tannic—decanting was de rigueur. After 45 minutes it was better but still tight. It took a full two hours to open up fully and show interesting notes of tobacco, earth and pencil shavings to balance the fruit and acid. Tells me that I should wait another five years before opening my remaining bottles. Enjoyed the 2021 vintage with prime ribeye cap steak from Costco, chicken liver pate and Taleggio cheese, with visiting family (William, Teresa, Xander and Samantha). — 5 months ago

Great wine. But it is better to wait a little bit to drink it — 10 months ago

Agree with those who describe the finesse in this reserve. Long open but worth the wait every time. apparently higher in sangiovese than other vintages and it works just fine. Really nice Antinori offering! — 4 years ago

Plumsand some menthol-eucalyptus on the nose. Pretty big and intense. Beautiful fruit, tannic but not out of whack. Such a good wine. This could sit for a few more years, but given the inconsistency of my cellar, i didnt want to wait. Had it with a grilled, dry- aged NY Strip. Oh my.... — 4 years ago
