If black strawberries were a thing that existed, this wine would smell like them. The fruit is somehow light and brooding at the same time. Strawberry, raspberry, black cherry, cranberry, rhubarb, and pomegranate fruit; balsamic, rose, violet, black pepper, black tea, clay pot, and tar notes. Structured but very well-integrated tannins. Sort of Nebbiolo-like in both texture and flavor. Lovely! — 2 days ago

Plenty or earthy spice, ink, sour cherry, dried herbs, dried blueberry, damp violets, wet peat and prune (though not in a dried out fruit kind of way). There a mineral component too, like cinders or coal but in a very pleasant way.
Palate has a lovely balance and refreshing acidity that keeps everything fresh, stewed but sleep black and blue berry fruits, touch of palms violet and that black and sour cherry and prune fruit coming on the finish. — a month ago

I kinda liked this one. Very Luxardo cherry on the nose... The palate offers this along with herbal, tobacco, beef jerky, and dry kirsch... Though we enjoyed this one at a Greek restaurant paired with lamb, I can't help but think about what other foods this might pair with... When we see Greek wine, we always think Greek food, but here I don't know if that's the obvious choice. I thought BBQ, but here I might even suggest turkey dinner may be a nice pairing. — 23 days ago

Vintage 2015 | what a difference a year makes! A year ago some sharp and disturbing edges, and now: lovely wine with nice expressions of spices and flint, great balance and looking forward to another glass. | Paired with a schnitzel and mixed vegetable stew from the oven. — 23 days ago
