Tried the '90 recently, spoke of how amazing a producer of Californian Cabernet it is, but just needed a little more time, this '85 is well & truly on point, everything is in balance, there's fruit intensity yes, but the development/complexity/layers are really shining through, outstanding stuff. — 9 years ago
Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 10 years ago

Bubble gum nose / bubbles / lemon and orange peel/ pear/ slight mineral start / refreshing fruity finish — 8 years ago
Our favorite summer wine. Light, effervescent, and crisp. — 9 years ago
Intensely fragrant nose of orange blossom, fresh cracked white and green pepper, white peach, myer lemon zest, candied lime, apricot and melon rind. Invigorating acidity and beautiful texture and body. An absolute value! — 10 years ago
Paired well with a lamb, eggplant purée, fava beans, piquolo pepper. Would also pair with a medium rare magret duck or other game. — 10 years ago

Someone brought it over and now we have to finish it. :-) Not what we would usually drink or possibly ever buy in the future ...but good! — 9 years ago
1973: Beautiful bottle. Wines like this make everyone stop and take notice. The color was clear and light. Arresting nose full of plums and roasted beets. The depth of flavor and long finish was in contrast with the appearance. Really a fine experience, only second to the few times I had the 1952 Mont Real. — 10 years ago
good, nice and crisp, and dry. — 10 years ago
Excellent dry Kelly and I in Lisbon. — 11 years ago
One of the best wines for the price. — 13 years ago
