Still beautiful, just not as much as a few years ago
Fruit still solid- deep plum, cherry
Smoky and leathery elements emerging as it ages
Big win for the Coravin!
Tapped half of it four months ago and found it lost nothing since
Decant 20 minutes then enjoy over two to three hours — 11 years ago
One of the very best values I've found. About $20 per bottle. Needs to be open for an hour or two before drinking it to get the real balance of flavors. Awesome every time! You can find it in Wake Forest at Bin 275 at The Factory. — 13 years ago
Well balanced Tuscan blend. 60% Sangiovese, 20% Syrah, 20% Cab. Good tannins and alcohol showing black cherry, leather, light spice and oak. Still a bit tight but would benefit from a hour two in a decanter. Not convinced it warrants WE's 94 rating. The 2011 should have another 3-5 years. — 10 years ago
Freezing my ass off in NYC and back at Cipriani... How many $20 bills have I palmed Fabio over the years, but he parts at least 50 people to give me the best table in the house... This Moses parting this human Red Sea greets me with two kisses and a welcome Mr. Peter... Love this guy... Anyway, Scott & Deb, two of my oldest clients join me... Deb looks exactly the way she looked 20 years ago and Scott looks great... This wine; AIA!!! Velvety, rich, dark, seductive... It's a beautiful woman in a glass... Ornellaia and Sassicaia... Two of my favorites... Still young, but oh so drinkable... — 11 years ago
What a beautiful color. Deep, deep purple, almost black, with a Purplish hue and a dark purple rim.
Beautiful on the nose and fruity, with blackberries, figs, raisins, wood, licorice, tobacco, leather, cooked cherries, black plums, currants, vanilla, Cola, spices and light black pepper.
Full bodied and bold with medium acidity and great legs.
Bone dry on the palate with blackberries, currants, plums, cherries, oak, earth, tobacco, light Cola, licorice, vanilla, spices and peppercorn.
Long finish with full, round tannins and lots of spices at the end.
What a great Petite Syrah this is. Still young, but already enjoyable by itself or with hearty food. Already Nicely balanced and complex, but Needs two hours to open up properly.
This wonderful 90% Petite Sirah and 10% Syrah is from the newly established (10 years old) Appellation of San Antonio Valley. Aged in 20% new French oak barrels for 9 months.
14.8% alcohol by volume. — 10 years ago
two things: gave this to my brother a few years back. he hadn't opened it and I almost stole it back from him. Also: it's really great, and by no means worth what some people will pay for it. — 12 years ago

Концентрированный аромат, море черных ягод, джем из тёмной сливы, вишни, очень насыщенно. В развитии сливочные ноты, пломбир, корица. Полное тело, высокий алкоголь умело спрятан. Во вкусе ликёр из черешни, чёрная смородина, много ванили, молочного шоколада. Жирно и сладко; держать. 16,5+/20 — 10 years ago
