9 years old and the fresh fruits and floral nose have gone replaced buy rich nutty and earthy flavours. A chardonnay that really does mature well. — 9 years ago

Lovely Elderflower on the nose. Nicely balanced acidity with quite a long after taste. The 2014 is a little young for my taste (bit too much fiz on the tongue). — 10 years ago

A bit of a rarity this. Nicely balanced acidity and tannins, with subtle blackberry and cherry fruit with a hint of spice and chocolate. — 10 years ago

this was recommended to me by my friend Walter who is Sicilian. Loads of character, mineral, with apple and peach overtones and a long finish. Not to everyone's taste but very much worth a try. — 11 years ago

This is an excellent Rioja. Rich, rounded and full of fruit with a lovely vanilla on the nose. Thin? No way. — 10 years ago

This is from a very special vineyard and this on one of their best (also check out their single grape rose).

The Passomaggio is full and complex, lot of blackberry with cinnamon and cloves.
