Served blind, I thought it was great from start to finish with its fat, lush, opulent nature and the ripe, black cherry, fudge, boysenberry, trufle and smoke filled personality. Delicious in every way.

I am probably shortchanging this sublime wine at 96 Pts. There is a wealth of rich, sweet, fleshy, ripe fruit, soft, silky tannins and an intriguing floral, mint, plum and blackberry filled nose that creates a great tasting experience. Served blind, this was a treat.

I do not taste a lot of Italian wines. But this is clearly one of the best Italian wines I've ever tasted! This has the right amount of everything. The complex nose, with its stone, tobacco, cassis, blackberry, earth and spicy character is stunning. On the palate, the wine coats your taste buds with its richly textured, layers of fat, juicy, intense, ripe and flavor packed berries. Served blind, I was knocked out.

Spicy cherries, herbs, earth, truffle and and licorice. Round in texture and still tannic, this medium/full bodied wine ends with fresh strawberry, herb and tart cherry flavors.

Lean, tart, dry red cherries was the best this wine had to offer. This wine lacks charm.

Not much fun to drink, unless you enjoy acidic, under-ripe, tart red fruits and dry textures. Where was the pleasure? It was much better on the nose than the palate. That being said, I was happy when the next flight was poured.

Bright red fruit, acidity, tannin, spice and structure. With air, the wine attempted to soften, but the levels of tannin and mouth drying acidity did not make this a fun wine to drink. This is another wine where I could sense a level of quality from the fruit and structure, but the lack of pleasure did not appeal to me. Others in the group liked it a lot more than I did.

With a perfume dominated by red fruit, spice and truffle, this medium bodied wine was tannic, tart and drying. Others in the group liked it a lot more than I did. I did not like the style of the wine. It lacked fruit and generosity.

It was quite nice with its spicy cherry, fennel, earth, strawberry, tobacco and truffle filled personality. Better on the nose than the palate, which was marred by the rustic tannins.
