Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15% Petit Verdot, deep Ruby red color, purple hues, with aromas of dark berry fruits, herbs an slight floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with licorice, tobacco, cedar and gentle floral spice. Long finish, great balance, fine chewy tannins that opened after decanting for 30 minutes, ending with fruit, cedar and earthy character. Nice, will age a bit. — 7 days ago

9.2

Concocted of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The herbal spice of PV and CF hover protectively around the blackcurrant and earth of the Cab Sauv. The tannins are dusty and polite, poking up midpalate then giving way to a torrent of blackberry, black currant and purple plum with a sapidity and maybe a lick of licorice. Each sip evolves. A fascinating bottle. Closer to Bordeaux in style but stylish as Italians tend to be. Do decant. Do have more than one glass and give it time to speak. — 2 years ago

Wanted to like this more. Something was out of whack...tannins, phenolics, no sure. Maybe just an off bottle or vintage. Good but not great. — 8 years ago
