Quite new world in style, but in a subtle way. Lots of flavorful nuances. Quite tannic at year 6, probably the most tannic Rioja I can remember. Time will be kind. — 13 days ago

Vintage 2019 | solid, although I have a faint idea it has had better times. — a year ago

9.1

Simple, citrussy with mineral vein
It does the job perfectly and i am curious to see what happens in a few months
It's long, satisfying and disappears super quick — 3 years ago

Planetas fiano-projekt från sydvästra Sicilien. Gulfruktig och mer exotisk än sina motsvarigheter i Kampanien. Torkade blommor, söta kryddor och allmänt lite rivig trots den något oljiga texturen. — 3 years ago

Deep ruby in color; black plums, blackberries, and graphite on the nose; high acidity; medium tannins; tastes like blackberry jam and prunes with a long finish. Leslie, Jason, Dante, Nellie, and I like it. — 3 months ago

2022/8. I do think the great Etna reds are Italy’s Burgundies (if Burgundy was grown on a volcano in the Mediterranean)...perfume, flowery red fruit but with smokier, darker elements and that somehow autumnal thing that seems to run in many classic Italian reds (Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, Nerello) — 2 years ago

This is all delicate, barely ripe fruit (apple, pear, nectarine, tangerine) with medium+ body and acid, and a finish that just won’t stop. Very pretty - I would have called it Chenin Blanc if I had tasted it blind. — 3 years ago

!00% Nerello Mascalese, Single Contrada from a favorite Sicilian Producer. This isn’t the typical lighter, easy drinking Nerello. This has body, weight and complexity. Darker fruit: black cherry, blackberry,raspberry, smoke, with tannins and acidity. Definitely capable of aging but I have a hard time time not drinking them! — 8 months ago

It's austere, but that's why you bought a taurasi. Dried flowers, boysenberries, raspberries. Almost like an amarone. Well made; I think average score a tad low. Better than the 2016. — 2 years ago

First sips were disappointing in the brevity of the hit on the palate. Gave it an hour and it lengthened beautifully. This wine has a ton of fruit (crushed sweet red berries), velvety tannins, and great structure. I would be fascinated to see what 10+ years does to it — 3 years ago
