Opened just prior to service and poured into a decanter. This is the second time I have had the opportunity to enjoy the 1967 Riserva although, the previous bottle was a more recent library release from the Borgogno cellars. This was a period release and yet, the experience was similar.

The 1967 Riserva pours a deep garnet color with a transparent core moving towards a slightly orange rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears and some slight signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but showing much more power than the ‘67 Abbazia SS Annunziata we drank on the same evening. Again, there is a lovely mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a savory. My previous notes suggested to drink now and while I still hold fast to that statement, twice in the span of 18mos with two separate bottlings encourages me to be a bit more bullish and suggest this has many years, perhaps decades left in the tank. — 4 months ago

Peppery plum is really shining through on this one. Red licorice and dried spice accents. Tannic grape skin gives it some grip. Long raisin finish. Like the Sun-Maid boxes I ate as a kid. A little sweet for me, but still good quality. Also added some to the passata I’m making from heirloom tomatoes, and it’s quite nice. — 7 months ago

Dry, citrus, underripe green apple, crisp acidity. Enjoyable but not that complex. Muscadet like. — 3 years ago

Was surprised to find a bottle of this with a bit of age on it at a supermarket in the Italian alps. Very lively, with lots of brambly fruit and cooler earthy undertones. — 5 years ago

Great value @ $11, if this was a chianti, it would easily be around $25.
Black cherry, tobacco, and a touch of smoke. — 6 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of four days. Best on Day 1 and Day 2 though, still enjoyable on Day 4. Personally, I just think the freshness in day one and two was more redeeming. The 2020 pours a deep ruby color with a near opaque core; medium viscosity with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of tart and ripe bramble fruit, black cherry, new leather, carnations, dried thyme and subtle baking spices. On the palate, the white is dry, medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose with the addition of a coffee character, more like espresso. The finish his medium+. This is a notable, modern take on Chianti Classico without the DOCG. Drink now through 2030+. Solid with pizza. — 4 months ago

Check out the color on the skin contact PG from the dolomites (right near where my dad grew up in northern Italy. I love Italian whites from this region and this “rosé” is exceptional. 12.5% abv. $22 — 7 months ago

Was really interesting day one. Started w lots of herbal and spice elements. Then more fruit after some air. Day two was much less interesting. Got flabby and syrupy. Should try again. — 4 years ago

Magnificent super Tuscan. In the same class as Tignanello. Beautiful, ready to drink. Decant it if you can but it's fine to pop and pour, swirl and go! — 6 years ago

Nice flowery and fruity nose. I think I will keep my other bottles a few more years to see if and how it can develop further.
The acidity is at a nice very old balsamic level. — 5 months ago

PnP. Dark red color. Cherries, stewed red fruit, and a little alcohol on the nose. Refined on the palate with dark fruit. Lovely texture and well balanced. Sticks to the palate with a complex finish. Very happy. — 10 months ago

Light on its feet, but with enough complexity to pair with meats as well as seafood pasta. Loads of perfume and acid. Very nice this Wolfs Song. — 6 years ago
