Pours much fuller/darker and extracted than I expected. Takes a little time exposed to oxygen to come up to it's current potential l. I'll keep my other bottle corked for another year. — 11 days ago

Think of a northern German Spätburgunder mixed with a rustic sangiovese. — a month ago

What a nice surprise this was to come across! I guess the closest thing I could compare it to is a field blend from Alsace - a big mix of bouquets. Good weight, silky but a nice acidic backing. — 2 months ago

9.3

This has to be one of the most refined and finessed sangiovese I've tried. Think Hermitage or Saint Joseph levels of refinement and balance. — 6 days ago

9.3

Highly fragrant with lime, lime blossom, custard malolactic goodness. Maybe some pine and woody secondary notes.
Drinks perfectly with a mature rounded mouth feel balanced by strong but not edgy acids.
Both easily quaffable but also demanding enough respect to take the time to taste it.

(Note that the rating is biased bc this is my kind of jam)

9.0

Powerful nose of green and orange melons, white florals, cut grass.
Soft in the mouth, med-low acids.
It's one of those wines that has a lot of wow factor in the first.glass but doesn't have the minerality and acid to keep it at that level for the rest of the bottle.
Definitely a good out of the norm option for pairings. — a month ago

8.8

A strange Napa Chardonnay for its residual sweetness reminiscent of a BA Resiling.
Good nose, but the residual sugar detracts from any further depth. Would be an interesting one in another 10 years but who's gonna wait that long?

A nice change of scenery. A lot of black fruits in here. Both black from living and black from dried age or should I just say decay? , if that makes any sense to anyone but me I'll be surprised. Secondary smells are kitchen herbs - thyme, Thai basil, and maybe some marjoram. . Again walking that line between fresh and dried.

The more I went into the bottle the higher my rating creot. That's the opposite of most for me. — a month ago
