This wine is inky dark. The nose has very dark fruit notes, but it is primarily savory. Aromas of tobacco, tar, smoke, and earth dominate, in a bold show. The palate has more fruit coming forward, but it still has to fight for attention with the savory flavors. I paired the Cannonau with a variety of cheeses to good effect, but it went quite well with sauteed mushrooms. — 19 days ago

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. — 8 months ago

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. — 9 months ago
