Tenores Badde Nigolosu Rosso Romangia Cannonau 2005

Poured into a decanter about an hour before service. The 2005 pours a ruby color with a transparent but slightly turbid core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of bruised strawberry, crushed ripe raspberry, Balsamico, well oiled leather, cayenne pepper, dry underbrush, exotic spices, carnations, rich Mahogany that has been freshly varnished and stony earth. Yes, there is VA but it’s Italian. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, rich and savory. The alcohol is high but well integrated and doesn’t detract from the experience. This is a stunning showing from Sardegna and an absolute banger with malloreddus. Drink now and over the next few years. — 3 months ago

@Lyle Fass Looking at some of the more recent TN's, I can't help but think my bottle has held up better than others. Corks are an imperfect enclosure.

Cardedu

Caladu Cannonau di Sardegna 2023

Not my favorite cannonau, but nice notes of bramble-y black berries, musty basement, and a violet like floral perfume with an after scent that almost smells like chips? Medium bodied, with prominent black cherry, blackberry, and a juiciness that’s balanced by a finishing minerality and light tannins. — 8 days ago

Cantina Dorgali

Isalle Cannonau di Sardegna

Deep garnet color with ruby highlights. Aromas of cooked red fruit and coffee. Ripe red cherry and raspberry fruit on the palate with distinctive notes of minerals, bittersweet chocolate and tobacco. Medium intensity and medium-plus bodied, but with a nice juicy quality and smooth and well integrated tannins and acidity. Nothing over the top but nicely balanced. Best on the first day. Great with lighter foods and an excellent value. Thanks for the bottle, Kase. — 3 months ago

100% Cannonau. No idea. Meaty wine, considerable weight, I dig it though, screaming for grilled animals. — 5 months ago
