9.5

Rare and rather expensive, less than 4000 bottles made. No trace of wood. Just a wonderful Sangiovese, meaty, funky almost syrupy with tannins that make the back of your mouth dry and makes you thirsty for a next glass. Outstanding unfortunately rare and rather (very) expensive. — 6 years ago

Round and generous, if not screaming its pedigree. Not a trace of green, though. — 7 years ago

Still powerful tannins, could cellar a bit longer. Good balance, but to much body, little to much acid, fruit is somewhat muted. Great with steaks — 7 years ago

Wow! Peppery, complex and an extremely long finish. — 8 years ago

9.4

The horrible glasses that we had to use are not doing the wine justice...but it’s still terrific. Honeysuckle, lemon peel, white flowers, and a trace of vanilla on the nose. Mouth-filling and expansive across the palate - really expands - followed by a creamy smooth finish with just enough acid to keep it moving. Mark Aubert does it yet again. — 8 years ago

Light on it’s feet, nice acidity and delicacy of Rufina .Not a ton of funk but no trace of the barrique. Poured out an hour or so before Amatriciana.Delish. — 6 years ago

9.1

fresh squeezed grapefruit on the nose and palate upon opening. tightly wound out of the bottle but opened up after an hour in a decanter. time reveals a kiss of cherry and an underlying salinity mixed with a trace of iron. light to medium body and color. not a cocktail wine, but EXCELLENT with food. paired perfectly with black pepper chicken. definitely a go to for weeknight meal pairings. — 6 years ago

Mineral driven, some vanilla, stones, crisp golden apple. Medium acidity. Crisp and friendly. Drinkable summer wine. — 7 years ago

Justin Hart

8.9

A little past its prime, unfortunately (flavor profiles are a bit flat). Still, its quality is clear. Notes of anise and black berry (which is kind of surprising), are followed up by plum and a trace of tobacco. Very good, but probably better a year or two ago. — 8 years ago
