Cherry beef jerky, standing outside a leather shop, lavender and hints of five spice powder on the nose. Very soft, smooth, and polished mouthfeel, thick but subtle legs with kirsch, amaretto, blood orange with under layer of summer berry compote and hints of five spice powder comes out on a long finish at the end. Really really nice. — 3 years ago

In a professional degustation anywhere in this world I would give him a good 8.8.

But here, in Mondolfo/Marche, Osteria El Gatt, seafruit plate on the table, almost empty beach-view given by the Corona-effect....and with my smiling girl-friend in front of me....it’s a 10!

Let’s compromise on a 9.3! — 4 years ago

Sept 2020 $? (~15-20?) at Norman’s. Color: garnet with corona of raisiny brown. Open about 30 min and... fine. Not sweet, good tannins in mouth, no linger. Unremarkable and goes down easily. After bottle open about 90 min, more spice and edge, classic yet not complex (at all) Pinot flavor. Alc %14.5 but does not land as a “strong” wine. No actual negatives but would only buy ‘16 again for $8 or less. High rating b/c so very easy to drink. — 3 years ago

An orange shade reminiscent of the sun’s corona.

Just a pretty bouquet. The sweetness of a rose, the citrus of orange peel, the greenery of basil, parsley, and mint. Honeycomb and a hillside breeze.

Slight effervescence. Dry. Still as juicy as a plump, fresh orange. The afternote of grapefruit lingers along with honey. — 4 years ago

Too bad I still can't smell anything after corona... Palate is impressive, great structure, concentration and long full of iron finish! — 3 years ago

We are not typically Chianti lovers by I think it’s great. Had a 2015 in 2020 in the horrors of Corona pandemic. It was a gift so cannot compare to pricing. — 4 years ago
