Unique, challenging, extremely enjoyable - coming to understand this is the standard with iurai. — 4 months ago
Nose - very subtle white flowers like gardenia. Flavors - lemon and melons with the weight of a Chardonnay with just a touch of acid at the end. Really nice with chicken. — 4 months ago
Second take on this wine in a different vintage and, in short, I still like it. Red forest fruits and cherry on the nose, along with some mineral notes like slate and pencil lead, an earthy note too. The palate is long, acid driven, shows a bright cherry note all along. There are some earthy notes too and some width. The mouthfeel is rather smooth at first but develops into a lively tannic wall in the rear, powering up a long fruity finish with still some of these earthy notes and cherry. Good stuff but could use a couple of more years in bottle. — 6 months ago

Eight years after the vintage... On the nose, this is cranberry and raspberry... On the palate, raspberry syrup, cranberry/cherry concentrate... Smoke? Earth? Mushroom? The tannins are very present. Powerful but not rough. Long finish. Pepper. — 2 months ago
Pinot Nero based Sparkler. Dark pink/red color. Aromas of strawberry, white flowers and earthy funk. The palate is full of sour strawberry and sour cranberry fruit with additional notes of fresh herbs. Pleasant funky note. Crisp, light, bone dry and well balanced. — 5 months ago
