S.S. Mandani

9.1

Rose from Sardinia? May hold this bottle as a rose option at the new wine bar.

Melon, limestone, river rocks, saline.

Great mouthfeel. Refreshing and mineral. — 3 months ago

A new grape for me (bovale), from Sardinia. Heavy on the nose, distinct peppery note and ripe. Better when open 45 minutes. With Sly in London. — 2 years ago

Delicious and versatile red. Perfect with mushroom pasta, but light enough to drink alone. Picked this up at Eataly, where it was advertised as a staff pick. Let’s just say the staff has great taste!! — 4 years ago

Pretty tannic, but balanced, leather dark fruit, cream cheese note on the nose (lactic acid?), good cooking spices too. Mid bodied. — 9 months ago

Bitter middle at first, but give it some time to breathe and it will relax. Amazing fragrance. Really great, dark, super unique — 2 years ago

9.1

Nicely made and exuding character. Nose has bright, deep plummy fruit, along with nice, fragrant spice and a wisp of smoke. Mouthfilling, pure fruit on the palate, with a light touch, finish turns savory and shows lots of stony minerality. Nice acids and a bit of soft, chalky tannin comes out at the end. Terrific value. — 3 years ago

Skin contact Sardinian white. Didn’t unfurl as hoped but wasn’t completely closed down either. Suspect air & time will greatly help. Plenty of savory notes, marigolds, fennel, and Asian pear. Dry style. — a year ago

This Bobal kind of reminds me of a big, muscular left bank Bordeaux. Saturated color. Nose has lots of graphite, cassis, elderberry, and dried twigs and leaves. Dense, but in a lean and muscular way that avoids any jamminess. Dark cassis and crushed rock are the main components. Bone dry and with very good acids. Tannins are present but reasonably soft. Will be better in a couple of years but nice now too. — 2 years ago
