Medium ruby color with a slight orange rim. Aromas of red fruit, leather, forest floor, orange zest and smokey oak. Flavors of red and black cherries and plums, tobacco, porcini mushrooms, black licorice, black olives and earthy spices. Long and expressive finish. Bold acidity and chewy tannins. Full bodied and incredibly well balanced. So complex and concentrated. Thanks to Petey and Kase for this Welcome to Cape May 2026 Vacation wine! — 2 months ago

Splash decanted and enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of Morello cherry, red flowers, black tea, dried green herbs and gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and has that Ciacci Piccolomini silkiness. I felt the 2019 was a little reticent for the first 30min (not at all surprised) but opened beautifully after that and continued to build steam until the last glass. Very easy to enjoy and fabulous with bolognese. Drink now with a 30min decant and through 2044 — 6 months ago

1995: Surprisingly deep color, followed by depth of fruit. Cellar temp, yet continued to open in the glass. Chocolate cherry fruit, with pleasing finish. A good bottle. — 11 years ago

This wine reminds me of the the question "Who taught you to eat bread fit for gods and drink wine of kings?" -Epic of Gilgamesh 2000 BC. There is no doubt that this is the wine of kings! — 12 years ago

9.3

Strong floral & spice on the nose when first opened. After 20 minutes decanted, delicate layers of cherry & blueberry fruit on the palate with light spice… and a very nice long finish. Soft tannins are pronounced.
This wine has not peaked. I will try it again in a couple of years. But it is delightful right now! — 2 months ago

Traditional Sangiovese from a warm vintage — ripe but structured. Sour cherry, dried herbs, leather, balsamic, fine-grained tannin, bright acidity holding it all together. Entering its window now; the fruit has integrated and the tertiary notes are emerging. Built to drink through 2030+ but already showing well. — 3 months ago

2020 vintage. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins and 2 hours. Medium/medium-heavy body (as usual) first sampling. Meaty (but not beefy) with dark plum as backup/the club bouncer. Slightly chunky but eminently drinkable. Ff two hours and the body thinned out slightly with the club bouncer’s shift over. Dark plum gonzo and cola + Luxardo cherry now driving the party bus. Not quite as structured as the massive 2019 or as precious as the 2018. This is in a great spot now, if you must, and should be an absolute delight in 5-10 years. 3.6.25. — 8 months ago
