Agricola Punica
Montessu Isola dei Nuraghi Carignane Blend 2013
IGT from Sardinia- 60% Carignano, 10% each of Syrah, CS, C Franc & Merlot.
A tad disappointed to be honest- surprised to see 91 from James Suckling.
Deep purple; med nose of cherry, plum, pepper & chocolate, promises more than the palate actually gives.
Med(+) acidity, alcohol & body but lacking in discernible tannin... Quite tangy with dominant sour cherry flavours & a med(-) liquorice finish. Drink young, benefits from drinking with food, & not an easy drinker on its own... My score 81pts. — 9 years ago

TOP DOG CALI CAB
Was delighted to find some Californian Cabernet on Naked & even more pleased to drink this one! This could be the wine that stops me from leaving Naked Wines, and I still have the Reserve to try!
Decanted an hour before; deep ruby; med(+) nose of rich blackcurrant, liquorice & violets; med(+) acidity, tannin, alcohol & body, well balanced; med flavours of all the above plus some leafy & herbaceous notes; silky smooth; finish a little short at medium.
Overall v pleasant! 88pts. ✨ — 9 years ago
