Something very different from Sicily and a surprise if you’re not expecting it. This is very Beaujolais in style- low tannin, fresh, young and fun. Lots of Panama Violet and fresh bright fruit. Serve chilled in the heat or a little below room temperature. Great for those that dislike big reds or those that love big rose. — 9 months ago

Stewed apple, baked oats, touch of vanilla, cinnamon and a hint of raspberry on the nose. Dry, fine mousse. Nose continues to palate. — a year ago

Inviting nose of lychee and peach, floral and mineral but there is an underlying earthiness that stops this being a overblown fruit bomb. This continues on the palate but with an interesting petillant character on the tongue. — 2 years ago

Cedar, cherry, spice. Mature Rioja at its best. Develops on the palate and has great length. Glad I kept it for so long. — a year ago

An incredible wine. Rich old gold turning towards orange in colour, weighty in the glass. This 2002 smells fresh with honey, mandarin orange, citrus. It smells like a dessert semillon but is dry in the palate. Long finish. Amazing wine, a real delight. — a year ago

Decanted but still closed and not as bold as expected. Enjoyable but would recommend 2013 over 2012. 8.5 for 2012 and 8.8 for 2013 — 4 years ago
