Didn’t even need a decant, this babe was ready to go the second I popped the cork. This was all dried blackberries and dark plum with sturdy tannins begging for a rack of lamb. — 6 years ago
Unnecessarily heavy bottle. Nose is quite vinous, showing bright winey berries and cherry licorice candy, along with a whiff of almond paste. The palate is vigorous but bright and fresh, with nice depth. Tangy acids and a little metallic/mineral note in the slightly bitterish finish. It’s got the “cleansing” character that pairs well with casual, tomato-saucy Italian dishes. I could be wrong but I’m guessing that this has no slightly dried grapes in it nor was any appasimento technique used. Just fresh ripe grapes. — 17 days ago
Medium acidity, apple on the nose, stone fruit, maybe some tropical and honeyed notes on the palate. — 4 months ago
Needs food but not the spiciest red. And not too dry either. This is happens to be the strongest wine we tried tonight (1/8/2026) — 7 months ago

Difficult but I gave it the benefit of the doubt…at opening a total disappointment, after an hour ok’ish, after 3 hours wow and at the end quite close again. I guess time in the cellar will tell? @Dave listening to George Michael — 14 days ago
