Great interplay of weighty black/blue fruit and savory Syrah undertones; sage, olive, menthol, crushed violet. The wine has freshness and life as well, a total bang for the buck that fits right in at the table. — 7 years ago

A wine after my heart! This 2008 IGT was drinkable right out of the bottle but I decided to decant it for a few hours while I cooked dinner. Im glad I did--I was rewarded with an incredibly well-balanced wine. A smoky reddish robe envelops the glass while on the palette strong notes of red fruit, black coffee, leather, mint and dark chocolate. This wine reminds me why the Super Tuscans still provide the most bang for the buck. — 8 years ago

Starting the Christmas weekend with a bang. In case you guys haven't noticed, I'm always excited about the 1990 vintage because it's my birth year
