At first, quite a bit of reductive and bretty notes which blew off within a half hour. Night 1: Berries and barnyard, acid and spice.

Night 2: Thick, thick violet perfume upon opening. Tart cherry, mulberry, cardamom. Wow! A day of air does the trick. Nose is so sexy and voluptuous. Just something I want to pour all over myself. On the palate it has the hallmark texture and umami of the rosado. A bit of VA and subtle tannins are pleasant if not fully integrated. — 6 years ago

Incredible. White flowers, rose petal, orange blossom, peach, pear, orange creamsicle, vanilla. Strong old vine intensity and ultra long thought-provoking finish. Just a baby still, with prevalent oak and potential for extended aging period, but still really well balanced. — 8 years ago

This $10 Siciliano Rosato is FANTASTIC. LIGHT, fruity (strawberry is most prominent), perfect acidity. Great with food or solo. Well done. — 9 years ago

Lovely example with classic Sangiovese profile: sour cherry, high acid and smooth tannin, medium body. High alcohol. But in more interesting terms this is summertime in your angsty teen years. You and your (maybe stoned) friends want a sundae. But like, (long story I will tell on the blog) you end up with a classic sundae because someone's parents have good taste so it is basic but...better. And this wine's vanilla and cherries are baller. No maraschino in this game. Semi-feral red fruits of all types hanging in new American oak for say, a month or so before deciding to hang with the older Europeans they spotted smoking in the corner... — 10 years ago

Extraordinary Zibibbo: a less knonw grape but in the "dry" version is spectacular. Valle for money — 10 years ago

An absolute treat! A hot nose, dusty bing cherries and dates with an earthy note. Big and bold on the palate, cedar and black plums with a grippy finish. By the glass at Rendezvous! — 11 years ago

This is my last bottle of this superb CCR. All sorts of secondary and tertiary scents found on. Gravel, sandstone, roasted herbs, almost a eucalyptus thing, iodine, macerated dark cherry, exotic spice market. Perfectly balanced in the mouth, with great acids and flavors that still seem youthful despite being 8 years old. Great stuff. — 6 years ago

9.4

Mature aromas of dried cherries and ripe tomato (& tomato leaf). Yet the tannins still show grip, the purity of fruit is prominent and the acidity still juicy. This one has a few years to go. A very, very good wine.
Single vineyard, old vines, 90% Sangiovese with Cannaiolo & Mammolo. — 8 years ago

Got the 2007 riserva in Panzano. Full, smooth, cherries, plums, a little leather, maybe a little white pepper. Delicious. — 12 years ago

9.3

Deeply opaque wine moving towards a tawny color. Nose has dark black fruit, sweet vanilla, toast, and a bit of honeysuckle. Palate is full and mouthcoating with mocha, blackberries, white pepper, and baking spices. Acidity is crisp, tannins are firm, and the finish is long. The wine is rustic, unusual and tasty. — 12 years ago

Tasted this wine in Trastevere within a cellar that had walls built as early as 80BC. Now I will admit, the romance of Roman history may have influenced my rating. But this wine went very well with our suppli. — 11 years ago
