    A great super tuscan, does not get any better than that. They are typically a little too price. I think solaia price is ridiculous.

    I can’t believe you did the il Caviliere!= WOW
    I got a few cases at drinkbetterwine.com it is only sold online! When people go to Tuscany and taste this they can pay the shipping back to the US- or by it from Drinkbetterwine.com.

    Thanks for reminding me- I need 3 or 4 cases, having a party for Spring!

    I had the caviliere when I was in Florence last year. Nice wine. In this economy prob would go with the chianti or straight sangiovese.

    I want to apologize for being inaccurate with the amount of time that Baldassarre spent in oak, below is the accurate information.
    Winemaking techniques: “Baldassarre” wine is aged for 2 years in oak barrels, for 2 years in oak barriques, followed by another 18 months in other types of noble wood and 6 months in-bottle refinement.

    I have a 2003 Sassicaia and want to know if you think I should open it or hold it? Thanks.
