Slightly bricky on the edge It starts quite funky and porty But it opens up, yes it does The shades of complexity are numerous Cherry and plum Black pepper and incense Cinnamon and aniseed, perhaps chestnuty Mouth is of a soft velvet, ethereal, multidimensional Super enjoyable and extra long It vanished too quickly, but i am sure this is a kind of wine it would show even better the day after Truly couldn't feel any of the 15.5% of alcohol..i actually have enjoyed them

Not quite as balanced and complex as the 2006, but plenty of character and fruit. This particular bottle probably would have been too evolved if opened in 2021.

Delicious, beautiful cherry aromas with a tinge of bitterness at the end typical for valpolicella. Half the grapes go through appasimento for 2 months, while the other half are pressed from fresh grapes.

Splendid, ya know? Acid out the wazoo. Developing cherry on the verge of a flowery perfumed death with old Italians smoking cigarettes because there's nothing more to say.

Black cherry and dried herbs. Full bodied. Great but high priced pizza wine. Hard not to be swayed by the romance of the name. Would I buy more? Yes. It is a wine that is of another time that is unfortunately disappearing

Never not a winner. Menthol, elegance, power, fruit intensity but lightness of body. Sensational.
