Agree with @Lyle Fass ‘s review the nose is something special. Enticing. Medicinal/iodine, foliage, leather. Palate needs time, still just a bit primary at the moment with a touch of heat. Resolved after 6-7 hrs. Lovely wine and just the thing with a lasagna on a cooler summer night. — 2 years ago
Last of my bottles & a bit sad to see it go- these were soulful wines, demanding not just in managing & extracting their corks but in leaning in to taste what they have to say. After a double decant & cheesecloth/strainer, tasted over 2 days, using a half bottle for day 2. What I loved was the wholeness & evocativeness of the wine, with all the parts having melded; fairly closed on nose but by day 2 old forest floor, rose hips, & black tea leaves; on palate all that & rose petals, dried cherries. The drinking window is closing as previous Delectable users have noted, but what a cool sunset. — 5 months ago
Old-school Italian wine that is perfect for pizza. Somewhat thin and alcoholic but typical of wines served in Italian restaurants in Brooklyn when I was small. Flavorful and a perfect match to the marinara sauce of New York Patsy’s Pizzeria or Joe & Pat’s. — 8 months ago
Damn. Still one of my favorite roses. Made by the old man.
Nose: fascinating. Red roses. Mineral. Toast. Lemon flower.
Palate: mineral cherries. So bright. Linear. Perfect. So clean. Flawless. Like. A diamond. Complex. Fruit. Acidity. Grippy yet weightless.
Long.
Champagne lovers should buy this by the case.

Uncorking this bottle resurrects this masterpiece. Every sip is a flavorful journey as it comes back to life with each breath. The character and body remain elusive. TBD. — 8 months ago

Acidità spaziale, tannino perfetto, grande intensità al naso e in bocca. Morbidezze perfettamente bilanciate. Persistenza non lunghissima. — 3 days ago
