Delicious! Supple cherry with herbaceous edges and serious depth. For. Me this beats out Fontodi every time! Bright fruit with density and the perfect balance of wood. — 9 years ago
Ok. Paled in comparison to the Fontodi next to it. Nice wine, just suffered due to company — 9 years ago

Happy New Year!
Maybe the Michel Arnould old vines powerhouse is too serious for a lighthearted celebration, but it was just right for father and son wine geeks having New Years dinner alone together for the first time since 1999.

Great drinking moment for this 1999 Del Sorbo. Still lots of good fruit, creamy and soft. Very nice now. — 6 years ago
