Another hot vintage? at 14.5% but such a friendly, Labrador style. Would match great with a pork ragú or steak — 6 years ago

Amazingly lush and open on the nose. Broad red and blue fruit, leather, spices, roseBlind I’d have guessed this as a 89 it’s so young tasting. Good depth and acidity and real length. Great with the veal cheeks. — 8 years ago

The aromas are delightful with rose petal, tar, red cherry, pomegranate and Asian spices. The palate is not as interesting red fruit and spice with a hint of sous boos. This bottle lacks a touch of depth and complexity. Tannins are nicely resolved but just lacks real verve on the finish. — 9 years ago

This is rich and showing power with good weight. Still needs a min of 5-10 yrs before it begins to show its stuff. Even with a 4 hr decant it was still very primary showing hints of dark fruits, tar, scorched earth and good spice. — 10 years ago

Beautiful lemon and honeysuckle nose. On the palate petillant lemon, honey, elderflower with hints of white flower and a citrus yeasty finish. Wow! — 10 years ago

Ok so I just thought about a spicy blend of earth wind and fi-ya. Delish. We are at the Dabney in Washington DC. Drink it! — 10 years ago

Surprisingly lighter than the Colonnello, with a bit of the classic eucalyptus note starting to come through. With a few more years this would be a really elegant stunner — 7 years ago

Gorgeous. Divine structure. Will age at a glacial pace. Perhaps the best Colonnello ever made. — 8 years ago

Medium to light bodied. Elegant and somewhat floral. One for early in a meal. — 9 years ago

🤜 Potential - Yes it's young I know 😁 Testing a new Barolo @ £45 decanted 4 times & 3hrs 💨 to let it show but better in 4-7yrs as built very well 👍 Try 2020 ono ⏰

🍷 Garnet cherry w/ fine brown edge

👃 Leather whipped smoke induced mushrooms growing in a mineral filled earthy orchard of red cherry trees

👄 Med+ body of earthy slight tart red & dark cherry in fine dry tannins w/ green red fruits undertone

Vivid and lively, with fine, fresh tannins and excellent mid-palate depth. This is a composed and stately wine of restrained power, poised to cellar for years to some. — 9 years ago

So much fresher than a lot of the 2000s I've tasted lately. Definitely some oak to deal with but pleasantly surprised — 11 years ago

9.8

So much happening here. Sour mash on the front. No fruit to be found. Oxidized with a touch of funk. Acidity balanced with a syrupy note. As it warms, white pepper emerges. Did I mention phenomenal with saffron lobster ravioli? Yeah, it likes food and as any Marche white should, screams for shellfish. LOVE this wine. — 12 years ago

9.3

This wine disappeared rather quickly tonight. 93 without batting an eye, maybe 94. This wine pours a translucent red / violet. Nose of mint and herbal cherry. Entry is MUCH more rounded than expected. Sweet cherry cola and acidity building in the mid palate. Finishes with some bing cherry sweetness, some herb, hint of tart, hint of oak tannin but not much. Good weight without being overpowering, and went with rigatoni pasta quite well. I think this one has another 5 years before it starts to head down the hill. Nice bottle. — 8 years ago

9.1

Deliciously bright berry fruit on this blend of 80% Freisa, 10% Cab Sauv & 10% Merlot. Wonderful depth of earthy spicy undertones and a long soft finish. Great with mushroom pizza and roasted veggies on a casual Tuesday night. — 8 years ago

9.2

There is still so much youthful vibrance here. A little muted nose but the flavors and fruit are right there. Red fruit with that acid edge that cuts through it all. Slight gunpowder in the back. Amazing now. — 9 years ago

'04, indicative of the vintage, quite ripe, intense, with a great balsamic complexity, I'm going to let it open a bit, as it's got some balls... — 10 years ago
