Pungent fruity notes with loads of spiciness. Such an incredible nose! Beautiful melange of cherry, raspberry and baking spices. And bam. Fully flavored with loads of fruit, silky smooth, and light and easy finish. Incredibly well balanced and refined. My only complaint, although a small one, is the higher alcohol content is noticable and almost takes away from the elegance of the wine. If the AC were lowered a bit I'd have to say it was a nearly perfect wine. All that said, I have always loved brunellos and this is an amazing example. Definitely recommend! — 9 months ago

BAM! Tart/ripe blue berry and red cherry, smoke, grilled meat, and the awesome black pepper , slight olive, and acid bringing it all together...paired with chicken tandoori burgers... — 4 years ago

Tasted blind. Straw gold color. Looks young but the complex nose says it isn’t. Notes of citrus, apricot, gravel, some mint. Has that dirty nose that I connect Niellon to. Stunning power, structure and acidity in the mouth. I’m told this was open for 6 hrs already. Some conversation leads to Batard as the vineyard. Someone guesses Ramonet but I go with 86 Niellon Batard. Bam. An all time fav white for me, this was one of the best showings for it. — 5 years ago

Beautiful nose of baking spices and unknown herbs. Also vanilla and cherry. And bam! OMG is this gorgeous. Very fully flavored and luscious with more baking spices and cherry. Higher alcohol of 14.5%, which seems to dominate the wine. Love this! Decanted for 45 minutes. — a year ago

This beauty took a little while to open up then, BAM!! Huge expansive black fruits, intense minerals and savory spice, grippy tannins ... lip-smacking acid too at 10 years old. Damn, wish we had more to lay down even longer! — 5 years ago

A wonderful wine that we enjoyed with our Christmas dinner that included some beef tenderloin. Not sure how they do it but Carter keeps cranking out wonderful cabs. — 2 years ago
