Rutherford dust, blackberry, cedar, tobacco. Tannins unwinding but still there. — 4 months ago
Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, supported by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Deep Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and strawberry, lively spice, well balanced with savory fine tannins on a medium+ finish ending with mineral character. Nice value! — 4 months ago

It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. Let's bring Merlot back!
This 10 year old Merlot is delicious.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Showing red and black fruits with cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco leaf, earth, dark coffee, chocolates, peppercorn, herbs and black tea.
Long finish with round tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Single Vineyard Merlot is elegant and robust. Drinking very nicely now, and probably at its peak. Will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.
Needs a few hours to open up properly, so be patient.
Tangy and engaging. Easy drinking and fruit forward.
Good by itself or with food. Will pair nicely with BBQ Meats.

Located halfway up the hill dominating the principal valley of Barolo, supported by steep slopes lined by orderly vineyards, lies the 15th century Abbey of Annunziata. Medium Ruby with aromas of ripe berry fruits with earthy herb notes, aged for 12 months on oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, strawberry and raspberry with sweet vanilla spice. Fine tannins, vivid acidity, medium+ finish ending with earthy fruit character. Good value, Barolo like without $$! — 5 months ago

Everything is all there. The tannins are a little too dominant at this point. Needs a few more years to mellow out. Your patience will be rewarded. — a month ago
