Thought I was getting the '13, but restaurant did the ol' vintage switcheroo. Still very good considering how disastrous 2014 was for Tuscan reds. The leather really stood out on this one plus some rustic tannins. Which worked just fine for a spicy penne in tiny Alpine village. Merlot dominant plus some other bdx varietals. Drink now. — 9 years ago

From either the 3rd largest co-op in the world or in Europe. I think it's in Europe. Produttori is located in the heart of the tiny town of Barbaresco just to the right of the tower shown in the photo and up the street from Gaja. Also, one of the best Michelin stared restaurants for lunch we've ever had. As well, the best restaurant service we have experienced and it wasn't that pricey. For such large a co-op, they produce some outstanding value wines and some straight up excellent wines. This 09 is quite nice and one of their entry level value wines. A nice pair with my skillet lasagna. The wine shows more sour than sweet dark cherries, black raspberries, dry dark plums, touch of pouched strawberries, black cherry cola, dry dark florals bouquet, a light delicate herbaceous quality, dark soils with dry powdery crushed rocks with nice acidity. The balance of fruit & earth is improving as is the finish. It still needs at least 3-5 more years in bottle. Very nice wine under $30. A 9.0 on it's own with the skillet lasagna, 9.1-9.2. — 9 years ago

I love how in Spain you can go to a restaurant order a half bottle of Rioja and a 14 year old wine comes out aged perfectly. This is drinking great right now and can't imagine it's going to get any better. — 9 years ago

My wife and I had the 2011 after recommendation from her brother who is well versed on wines. This was a great wine with veal that we prepared at home. We had the pleasure of eating lunch at the family's restaurant in Vienna a few months ago and enjoyed the experience and personnel immensely. This is an intense wine but very smooth with plum, black cherry and other complex fruity flavors. In short a great Tuscan wine. We were able to get this for just under $90 at our local Total Wine store. We are waiting to enjoy the bottles of the 2012 that are in the wine cabinet. — 9 years ago

Way too young. Why would a restaurant stock this? Still, fantastic. — 9 years ago

Ok, I know the haters are out there. But seriously in a charming restaurant in a old Wyoming frontier town, and paired with world-class elk tenderloin, this Cab rocked. Or maybe it was the Wyoming Whisky warmup talking... — 9 years ago

Tastes a little sweet, but is just so easy to drink. Doesn't give me heartburn and isn't as sugary sweet as it tastes. — 9 years ago

Has been a while since we've had the '07. It was great to find it at our small local Italian restaurant, especially for way below retail. Purchased the rest to take home to the cellar. Anyways, it is drinking very well. The 07 and 05 are our favorites and about the only Opus we purchase. — 11 years ago

Extremely smooth with sweet fruity flavor at the beginning, and vanilla in the body. Good lasting. I am having it at a restaurant right outside the Piazza Nanova In Roma facing the fountain and the Palazzo Madame, can't beat that. — 11 years ago
