I've had this before, and I'll say the same thing. Super jammy, almost syrupy. Blue fruit and nutmeg/Christmas spices.

The guy at my local shop gave me this and asked me try it because another costumer said it was bad. Not bad at all! I should probably pay him.
Earthy stuff up front, maybe that's what they didn't like. Soil and leather cover up the dark fruit. Super tannic, this needs to breathe plenty. But really good, and making burgers to go with it.

This wine was bottled the year the Beatles played Ed Sullivan.
The color is obviously a bricky-brown, but slightly maroon.
Faint nose- a little floral and a little damp.
Sweet strawberries right up front on the palate, followed by orange peel, mushroom, stewed tomatoes and a dash of balsamic. Puckery tart and acidic. Mouth watering. Tannins all gone, short finish. Very drinkable and fun to experience.

Nothing fancy. The fruit is a little sweet, as others have said, but it has a rustic quality. It tastes like Siena, and makes me want some pistachio gelato.

I DJ'ed a wedding last night and the groom gave me a leftover bottle of his favorite wine. Nice gesture! Other reviewers have said it has a light touch, and this is true. But it's lively and fresh. A red berry medley. Quick finish.

This year's bottling is better than its Bombergers companion. Sweet and leathery, complex. Tastes like bourbon. A little astringent on the tail end.

This is consistently one of the best things you can get for $38. Gave it plenty of air, and it opened up beautifully. Chewy cherries, leather, and crushed rock. I guess that's how I'd describe lots of Barolos, but this is a fine specimen. Thanks for reminding me @Tom Casagrande

Simple and pleasant. At 10 years it's in a good spot. Soft berries, a little dusty, tannins are resolving. Drink up.
