Spicy dried red fruits with a touch of tar underneath, I detect that this 2003 is a touch more structured and tannic than the great 2000 I had a few days ago, long finish, great acid, still quite fresh (plus 12.5% ABV), excellent!! — 3 months ago

Very fresh nose - green vines and fresh air, a bit of acetone. Red fruit, nice but not terribly complex. — 4 months ago

These are some of my favorite Mountain Nebbiolo. ArPePe actually ages the Riserva before releasing. — 4 months ago

2021. This inexpensive (~$10 on discount) Monastrell/Syrah paired great with some locally made Merguez sausages. — 12 days ago

9.1

New-mown hay, blackberry brambles on the nose. Intensely fruit forward, but not sweet or cloying. Raspberries and blackberries. Light tannic structure, with mint and back pepper low notes, but it develops a pleasing minerality on its surprisingly long finish. I don’t know anything about this vintage, but it seems like it was grown on volcanic soils. The front reminds me of a Beaujolais Nouveau, but the finish is much more complex. A unique profile combination that I’ve never tasted before. Lovely. — 14 days ago

9.3

Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — 3 months ago
