Light and taste of melons. — a month ago
Brownish red color. Earth, strawberry, and cherry. Acidic with softer tannins. Like a Chianti with some of the idiosyncrasies smoothed out. Good, but not transcendent especially given the price. But Ellis really lend themselves to aging, so maybe 8 years old isn’t enough time to reveal what is going on. Also, I think this is my first Brunello, so I’m still getting to know the style. — a month ago

One of the best Pinotages I drank. The glass was perfumed with fresh truffle before the wine was poured. Remarkable experience jn the La Colombe wine cellar. @Kay Delectable this is the coastal pinotage — 7 months ago
Dark and supple. Taste of blackberries with mild black pepper aroma. Virtually no tannins it’s smooth to sip or pair with something light ... or even pizza. 😊 casual, unpretentious and tasty. — 4 years ago
