  Dang, I wish that more Bordeaux were as delicious as this blend from Italy! Great earthy/leather nose, blend of fruit & secondary on attack, round mouthfeel with resolved tannins. Long finish. Some pyrazine overlay, which I find endearing in Italian merlot/cabs.

  Last bottle, but it was a great one. Awesome nose, with some green pepper but not too much, mineral/volcanic, tobacco leaf, and a bit of cocoa. Massive structure, tons of sweet dried cherry, bone dry, scintillating acidity. Just a riveting wine.

  Solid wine with some good years ahead. Beautiful deep garnet color. Big complex nose: leather, cured olives, dark cherries, some cedar. The palate shows a well built core of soft tannins; adding baking spice, baked red apple, more dark cherries and hints of anise on the long finish. Looking forward to the rest of these bottles.

  Similarly great as my last bottle a year or so ago, except this one showed over exuberant green pepper, which costs a few points.

  Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Aglianico. Wonderful nose with dried red berries, amarena cherries, olive tapenade and some earthy/leathery notes. Smooth as ssilk but with lots of fruit, freshness, spicy notes and a beautiful coffee/dark chocolate finish that goes on for quite a while. Stunning wine and called by many "Sassicaia of the South" for a good reason.
