Baked raspberry and strawberries, minerally river rock smoothness, black cherry, smoky dried cran.
On the palate rich raspberry and cherry candy drive-by, dried cranberry, and violets. Top notch Pinot singing long and loud arias to tug the heartstrings.

Not that big for nerello but it’s such a pleaser. Didn’t even need much of a decant. Just good. Nice balance of cran and mineral and acid. Not lots of grip — a year ago
Cran Raspberry lacroix on the nose. Super light. A tad welches grape juice. Lovely. — 3 years ago
What a lovely Pape
Presents a soft but complex collection of berries - cran and boysenberry for me
Its got a sorta powerful and well rounded body - full bodied for sure with some earth and stone and a long ass finish

Tobacco, cran, some plum. Big fruit. Solid
With John & Sue, who just got to town…
Update… just noticed I had trouble rating this wine in Italy… as I thought, a testament to the quality of the wine I was drinking there, that against others I had this a couple notches lower. — 2 years ago

Bigger than most Barbarescos… earthy and dry, some must, some spice. Lovely on the tongue. Light florals. Not overpowering. Classic Italian tart / cran. Even a lemony finish.
X-Mas gift from Tom& Sal from Le Volpi e l'Uva, Florence… their Northern Italian Wine Club this year. The rest of the case is headed for the cellar. — 4 months ago
