Third rating for this: started at 10 degrees , and warmed up to around 15-18 in a warm 29 degrees tropical Singapore. Was fresh, crisp, lemon-like at first, followed by zesty mandarin orange flavours that finally matured to mellow honey apricots. Best of all coloured like the upcoming Chinese New Year - perfect gold. — 5 years ago

Surprised by the generosity, drinking quite well for how young it is. Open-knit, true to place, moderately framed with some true charm to it. Really enjoyed over a few days. Deep red fruit, almost succulent, soaked cherries and lots of licorice root, cedar, cinnamon, flowers and tar. There’s a undertone of earth. From a tannin perspective these appear ripe, with moderate intensity relatively speaking. — 6 years ago

Rich and ripe version of the Cannubi Boschis. Dark red fruits, tar and spice hit the plate and sustain forever. Still as fresh as a daisy. — 8 years ago

Nose of the night and nicest surprise. Tar and roses led dark red, still fresh juicy fruit. Refined, nicely layered secondary stuff going on. Just beautiful and has at least 5-10 years to go. — 9 years ago

Roses, tar and strawberries on the nose. Such an interesting wine! Unripe black plum, licorice and firm tannins. Needs at least 5 more years to be amazing. — 7 years ago

Bottle variance! Last one was bit maderized but this one was showing much better. Soft mature ripe fruit of peaches, compote and bread yeast toast. Enjoyed it. — 8 years ago

2005 vintage, 500 ml bottle. Forward style of Barolo if not quite international or modern. Nose of tar, spice, leather and some earth. The palate has vanilla (has probably mellowed with age), dark fruits, and mellowed tannins. Good acidity to cut through the fat of the large cut prime rib at Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. Not enough earth to really play with the cedar plank wild mushrooms. I've had older Fontannafreddas and they seemed much more modern in style. The waiter noted that around the mid-2000s they began to change. Would be interested to see if this continued. — 9 years ago

2011. "La Bolorée" - a tiny parcel of 100% Pinot Blanc. April 2015 disgorgement. This wine is more proof that Bouchard is making some of the most intriguing and exciting wines in Champagne. — 10 years ago

My experience with Italian wines is very small, but I do know that this definitely came across as young (not unexpected). Potpourri, tar and tobacco on the nose with rose petal and a lot of underripe cherry. Tannic. — 7 years ago

2005 vintage. Seductive nose, much lighter body in color and in the mouth, acidity higher. Tons of rose petal and tar. Finish was only weak point - thought it was a bit too tannic and spicy — 10 years ago

9.0

Crazy good for this price range and will get better with age. Still a bit tight at first so needs at least an hour in the decanter. Tobacco, tar, rose petals, cherries and grippy tannins. — 11 years ago
