8.7

We drank this lovely rose in Arles last October on a Stanford Travel/Study trip, and then found it here on Maui. As many have noted, it has a dry taste on the palate, countered by lovely citrus. Goes very well with fish — whether from the Rhone or the Pacific. — 25 days ago

9.1

Lovely Barolo: tar and roses, bramble berry, and medium tannins. Perfect with a Piemontese dinner with white truffles and agnolotti dal plin. — 2 months ago
