Book XVII

BOOK XVII – The name is based on the writings of the Roman Philosopher Pliny the Elder. In his book number 17, chapter 35 he touches on why wines from certain areas are exceptional – it was these basic tutoring that led us to BOOK XVII.

Neil Martin for ROBERT PARKER Jr. writes:
“It has a super-ripe crème de-cassis, fruitcake and fig scented bouquet with a palate that is ostentatious to the point of vulgarity. However, this full-bodied turbo-charged wine is so damn silky smooth and seductive in a super-Tuscan kind of way, that its charms will be near impossible to resist. I found this to be a big, powerful, quite alcoholic wine that is more reminiscent of some cult Napa Valley wines and they would certainly appeal to those who appreciate that style.

BOOK XVII is a collector’s item and only 600 bottles of 750ml were produced.
