I thought this would be over the hill. But it was perfectly aged. Smooth with some decent red fruit and excellent acid. No nutty or oxidized notes. What a great surprise.

Dark fruit with a finish echoing of raisins. Oak does not overwhelm but adds some mellowness. Real nice wine from a real nice place. bottoms up.

Lovely Rosso, perfect with pappardelle with guinea fowl. Good acid, long earthy mouthfeel.

Pencil shavings and dark cherry on the nose, dry cherries on the midpalate, finish a little lacking

I decanted this one (in contrast to #1),and it made a big difference. Some nice cherry-style fruit at first,settling through the bottle into a dry (but not unpleasantly so) red wine. No big deal, but nothing bad.

A very nice wine - well balanced with food. Enough tannin for some structure, but not a powerhouse in any particular way.

Decanted for a couple hours while making dinner. Inviting nose of sweet berries, milk chocolate and a hint of earth. Lovely balance and mouth feel, but the fruit on the palate is a bit hollow. Tannins still present making this an ideal match for simple Italian food. Solid QPR here.

Took to a friends, had it with Pizza. Needed to sit for 30+ mins to open up a little. Nice wine, similar notes as before

This wine is a great everyday drinker that goes really well with simply quick Italian meals- Not overly complex but WAY better than any Chianti I have had in this price range- Think it is under $13 bones- Even goes great with seafood as it does not overpower

popped , let sit in glass for 20 minutes and drank with Pasta dinner. Notes similar to last time, with perhaps a little more fruit (though not over the top)...good effort...call it an 88

Good wine. Had it about a week ago and already don't remember too much about, so it's not a memorable wine. Good value. Not great though.
