Two bottles:1)more amber colored; honey nose; flavor followed suit with profound notes of Greek honey and prominent minerality as well, perhaps somewhat madeirized. Some w me did not mind, I did not like. Moderate to long madeira linger, acid is minimal. Second bottle profoundly different: light straw color; light fruitier bouquet; fresh flavor, good acid rounded by light apricot , melon, spice, &honey. This fruit completely missing in first bottle. Good moderate linger with soft acid. MUCH BETTER. Sommelier here at Ousteau de Beaunanière says roussane grape is often responsible for the early deterioration seen in bottle #1. Rating is for bottle #2. — 11 years ago

2007 vintage. Missing the angular crispness of the '02 and '05, but otherwise great. — 11 years ago

Approaching middle age but is still really fresh and alive. Missing a bit of dimension but probably true to the potential of its vintage. — 11 years ago

Not fully recovered from its term in 70% new barrique. Very perfumed, beefy, saturated. Missing the elegance of the Produttori Montestefano. Pretty good wine nonetheless. — 11 years ago

I miss the rusticity of the past, but there's no denying that this is cleverly made. Sweet, grainy and accessible tannins, pure cherry fruit, hints of blackberries and freshly cut oregano; this is nicely updated. I like it a lot, but there's just something missing... — 11 years ago

Missing some brightness, but this beauty is still chugging along. Granny Smith apples dipped in Butterscotch pudding. Probably should have waited a day to drink after opening. — 11 years ago
