Excellent for 10 euros! The fruit is dark, ripe and warm but it’s well balanced by savory ashy and earthy notes. Good length and complexity. The 15% alcohol made its presence known. No call for a digestive...

Very reduced. Should have decanted for a few hours but my thirst got the better of me. — 2 days ago

This was way more lively than the Foret 2011 from last week. Honeysuckle, lemon and stone fruit. — 5 days ago

Smoky and layered but overly plummy too. 2010 was much better recently. — 7 days ago

Now that’s what I was cellaring this for! Good form, way less caramel than bottle 1. — 5 days ago

What’s the latest on the debate about Pigato and Vermentino being genetically identical? In this wine, there’s plenty of Pigato on the nose, but the evergreen flavor is uniquely Vermentino to my palate. — a day ago

Meaty, fruity, lip-smacking and pretty long on the palate. I’m holding my second bottle hopefully another few years but this is in a great place right now — 2 days ago

Lovely but rather fleeting compared to the 2010 from a few days ago. Less apple and more funk, just not too much depth and carry — 7 days ago
