Sipping Fine Wine

9.4

Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits, spice and toasty oak. On the palate flavors of cherry, blackberry and plum with spice, herbs, cacao, tobacco and toasty tones from 18 months of oak aging. Full ripe tannins you can bite into, long finish ending with fruit and an earthy toasty spice character. Nice! Will age! — 23 days ago

Il Ducale 2019, red and robust with steak. The label says it is a blend, but of what varieties it does not say. It does say, en français, “moderne, intense, et fruité; une vin de caractère”. We agree. — 5 months ago

Toast, pear and floral notes. Warm wrap and smooth finish. More heady than expected. — 5 years ago

This wine is colored dark purple, almost inky. The nose is wonderful, with an earthiness leading the way for plum, cherry and tar. The palate is loaded with dark fruit, earth and black pepper. The tannins are fairly smooth, but they work well against a Bolognese sauce. There is a nice acidity and a wonderful herbal finish. — 2 months ago

Purchased at the Grocery Outlet for $5.99.

That said, when we opened it yesterday it was totally not-descript. I wasn't even going to post it. Now, I am flabbergasted. We wasted it!
👃 lots of plummy raisins and caramel. So much fruit, it reminded me of a fruit compote.
👅 Pleasant leathery tannins, dry, subtly astringent. I never thought I'd b say "pleasant" and "leathery" in the same sentence.

Let this air out at least 24 hours! — 6 years ago

I think it’s a really good Chianti. Smooth. Ends nicely. Enjoyed with a piedmont eggplant/tomato/ pesto and ricotta. Even better finished with a very ripe grapefruit. Really great. 25$ Worth it for a great Saturday night dinner after yelling at your kids all day. — 5 months ago

New grape, who dis? Falanghina Beneventana is dry, with high acidity and flavors that include floral, herbal and tropical fruit notes. Concentrated citrus fruit character on the nose, with notes of bitter orange, orange peel, tangerine and candied fruits. This ancient wine from southern Italy goes right along with my current dry white kick. #badandboozpod #blackwinelovers #winelovers #delectable #winereviews — 4 years ago
