It is easy to expect an erupting volcano in one’s mouth when you see the name Dal Forno. Yes, this was a powerful wine but thanks to sufficient acid and time in the decanter the weight and intensity of the fruit was held in check. A wonderful accompaniment to the Peking Duck.. — 9 months ago

This wine is medium dark. The nose is savory, full of tar, earth, tobacco, licorice, plums and raspberries. The palate is similarly dark and savory, with sweet tannins and good acidity. I made a pasta sauce with my first pour, then enjoyed the second pour while it cooked. It was delightful. — 2 months ago

Very dense and black in colour. These wines always remind me of Fruit and Nut milk chocolate. The colour makes you think full bodied but it’s actually light to medium bodied. A luscious mouth filling palate with the savoury milk chocolate together with notes of raisin and date. Supple yet persistent tannins. Reminiscent of a Priorat Garnacha in some respects. — 3 months ago

From 375ml. Each time I asked the Somm for the blend he added another grape. Suffice to say it was a blend of Riesling, Pinot Bianco, Friuli and Tokaji as far as I could tell. On the nose Georgie thought rose water. Add red and white florals. The medium bodied palate had notes of pear and kiwi fruit and was absolutely delicious. We all wished we’d ordered a 750 ml bottle. — a year ago

Sweet tannins almost port like with very balanced tannins. 17 pct alcohol but accessible. Great but not quintarella which is still a level higher. — 2 months ago

Beautifully aged in 2024 but still retaining its vibrancy minerality with melding of stone fruit citrus almond burnished with hint of smoke and sea flavors with great complexity and long finish it went well with lemon garlic, barbecued shrimp, grilled squash, and corn on the cob — 6 months ago
