2013 - Luscious, fruit forward bouquet; great body; good legs, slightly tannic and medium finish; tasted one plus years ago and felt that time would help, which it did. — 8 years ago
Surprisingly fruit forward for 25 years. Dark fruit and plum flavors with smoothed tannins. Good bottle bouquet. Cork fell apart but there was no taint to the bottle. Bottle well kept for at least the last 15 years - and supposedly the first 10 before I got it from a private buyer. I would not believe this review if I had not done the tasting myself. I had an 88 and a 90 in recent years that had not held up - flat flavors and thin color — 9 years ago
Again maybe the atmosphere but this is delicious, just released here in Tuscany, vibrant red fruits, this super Tuscan rocks. The nose is full throttle fruit, great entry, fruit forward, leather, dark chocolate, great acid and tannin, looks to me built for long aging. Going to add some to my cellar. — 10 years ago

Made the mistake of drinking whiskey first. Tastes flat & dull in comparison. Earth, dark berries, cassis, & plum. Not overly bright or fruit forward. Leather, tannic, acidic finish. — 8 years ago
Big forward, intense deep fruit, heavy body. Yet does not rely on body alone, develops on the palate. I would say it is still improving. Drank 2011 in July 2017. spectacular with the goat cheese and fig and thyme crackers as a wonderful appetizer course before even more impressive wines to come — 9 years ago
