One of last bottles I bought in 2004 in Italy at winery. Absolutely gorgeous nose. Cherry, floral, Coca Cola. Still has lots of fruit smooth tannins and great length. Drinking window by professional stated through 2015. Has at least 5 years in my mind. — 11 years ago
Deep ruby, blackberry, vanilla oak, dry ripe tannins, cocoa black fruits, clovey spice, deep and meaningful, all in balance with its 15% alcohol. — 12 years ago

Wonderful light red. Fruit forward and very drinkable, not sweet. — 10 years ago
Intensely aromatic. Black tea, rose petals, red cherry and tar. Every component feels accentuated but in a very balanced way. Lots of fruit, good amount of acid, solid tannic grip and long finish. — 11 years ago
This was a vertical of 38 vintages to celebrate Joseph Phelps Insignia 40th anniversary! The 74' and 77' were the wines that came on top from the 70's vintage. — 13 years ago
Buttery in front plus green apple at the end. Flavor punch of a Chardonnay with the crisp flavor you love on a warm summer night! — 10 years ago
Love the entire #Hofstätter line! — 11 years ago
