How do you know it's real? Lots of fakes around from what I hear.

I haven't tried the Reserve before. I love the 99 Poggio, and, though it's not the reserve, it is a bit less $.

Ebram, we are pretty familiar with this label, I tend to trust it. But I guess who knows, really?

Maybe this is a question for our resident expert from winestilsoldout.com...
