Very pretty, on its last leg but still kicking — a year ago
" 30 months in Oak barrels adds a vanilla flavor to the beautiful ripe fruit in this structured wine." Made from the Noble tempranillo grapes, it's a wine for special moments. " — 2 years ago

Ridiculous Rioja. Has all the goods. Deep ruby color. Wonderful aromas of dark cherries and black fruit with dill, vanilla, some clove and licorice. Leather and semi sweet chocolate. Medium acids and medium tannins but plenty of aging potential. Would be hard to improve though. — 8 months ago
Vintage 2018 | I do not know wines of Donatella Cinelli Colombini that have disappointed me. This cuvée is new to me. The dragon in the label is Carlo, Donatello’s husband. The 8 doves on the label are the women who made the wine. This is the first Italian winery staffed by women only. It’s a bit curious for the grapeblend that is used is unusual: 60% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot and 20% Sagrantino. Purple red colour. Beautiful cherries in smell, vanilla and a hint of cacao. Very vibrant taste with good acidity. I paired this dragon wine with a diabolo spaghetti. A sauce of San Marzano tomatoes and red pepper, pancetta and minced beefmeat. — 5 months ago

It’s the Crianza I was drinking. Expressive nose of red and dark (cherries, plums and blackberries), well handled oak and good acid — a year ago
