I had this as part of my club shipment but hadn't gotten around to opening it right away. What a pleasant surprise it was when I finally got around to it. My wife used the aerator and I did not but after a little time sitting open it was just as good without. The first thing you will notice is the deep rich color that's so good you think you should be able us it for a royal gown. I love a jammy and intense wine. I wasn't disappointed. Now I have to get more before they sell out. — 10 years ago
Pleasant screw-top rose, pretty in pink, glints of orange and strawberry, an exact little wine, perfect for breezy New England day of scattered cirrus veiling and unveiling the moon's shift toward last quarter, precisely the same color as the clouds. — 10 years ago

A very rich Chardonnay on the nose ripe tropical fruit Monteverro is the name of the area. Great terroir volcanic eroded soils with clay. They wanted to make the coche dury of Tuscany vanilla creme a hint of butterscotch clay retains water very well and is like a sponge all the Chardonnay planted at the bottom of the hill with the clay soils. Very rich bouquet limestone changes the ph they transfer the wines in stainless to preserve the freshness to keep the acid. Very creamy on the palate very rich and well endowed vanilla spice and wonderful fruit tropical with great freshness and balance very long finish 45+ most excellent only 150 cases produced this is the second vintage of Chardonnay. The average temperature is higher in the maremma but they do not have the peaks — 12 years ago

This took about 5-6 hours to finally open up, and I wish I had the patience to wait till night 2. Sadly, I think I was several years to early as it still felt it had more to give. Currently on a Northern Rhone tour and Cornas was my next stop. This wine presented all the brooding, dark leather, herbaceous, and bramble flavors I expected, but turned supple and hit me with peppered blackbeery and plum. Really great wine, can't wait till it peaks and I will get a few more bottles to make sure I'm there when it does. — 9 years ago
