Nose- rose petals, leather and turf. I get some annisette, cherry, and earth on the palate. Tannins are moderate. This could age a bit more. I was surprised it was a little thin. Enjoyed with pasta and a rich guancale/ sausage tomato sauce. — 2 days ago

Nose: savory. Spice perfect lilacs. Violets. So perfect. Maybe a hint of age as it aerates.

Palate: perfect “sweet “ cherry fruit. Gorgeous silky licorice. Still fresh.

A truly magnificent wine.

Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruits, oak and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plums with tobacco and herb spice. Firm grippy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and mineral character. Ok but Juliet better! — a day ago

Light, nice cherry and a bit of smokiness. Get a tad of the alcohol on the finish. Went so well with my sausage based dish. But this could be a great sipper with some garden tomatoes, prosciutto and cheese. — 6 months ago

Light, not a ton of fragrance; such intense fruit- strawberry/ cherry. Really enjoyable light red. — 7 months ago
