The incredibly rare and legendary 2000 vintage and a Montepulciano that’s simply in a league of its own! It took some time in the decanter to shed an initial funk and whiff of VA which had me worried but ultimately did, and showed fabulously. There’s an alluring “wildness” to this wine that’s just so intriguing. It’s incredibly complex, layered with aromas of dried red fruit, game, exotic spice, coffee beans, violets and a menthol freshness. Time in bottle has added elegance and detail and the palate is unbelievably silky with a finish that keeps on going. Special wine. — a month ago

A sparkling red is new for me. The bubbles aren’t as many as from champagne region, but the taste is sweet and spectacular! — 4 years ago

Lots of red fruit — raspberry, dark cherry — plus blackberry underneath. Vanilla and cola notes, along with some forest floor earthiness. Easy to drink 7 years in. More fruit forward than other vintages I’ve had. Quite good. — 6 months ago

Exceptional small production, Goldilocks vintage, 2012. Full palette, significance of soil, layers of flavors roll throughout. Delightful stink of the barnyard so to speak. Loved it. — 4 years ago
