Dark cherry, leather, menthol, cinnamon, and oak on the nose. More dark cherry, cinnamon, leather, and oak on the palate along with raspberry, plum, cola, cocoa, aniseed, eucalyptus, and green pepper. Medium tannin, medium alcohol, high acid, and medium plus finish. As with most riojas, punching well above its price point. — 3 years ago
2019 vintage from total wine. Excellent. One of the best Riojas we’ve had recently. — a month ago
20240506 Rest. Amarea Ristorante Romolo Mare, Bordighera with Wakano.
Michelin 2019, 20, 21 but not terribly good. One time enough.
Rose was fruity and tasty but not sweet. Good wine for EUR 28.00 — 2 years ago

A great “uncork and pour” Toscana IGT Rosso, with a blend ratio of 51% Cab Sauv, 44% Merlot, and 5% Petit Verdot. A truly traditional Bolgheri-styled super tuscan, known for versatile, bright and uplifting wines.
The v.2022 displays fruitier and juicy aromas on the nose driven by blackberries and cherry medley, with some peppy notes as well. The palate welcomes a fresh fruit-forward with medium-less textured tannins, once it opens for about 30 mins shows more subtle ripen red fruits and becomes smoother. Mouthfeel has a soft-end thanks to the MLF in steel tanks. However, the wine was aged for 10 months, partly in barriques used previously for its Ornellaia wines and partly in concrete tanks, to attain a nearly-perfect balance between the structure of its tannins and the fruit-forward expression.
Had this wine in a traditional “Trattoria-style” Ristorante known for Central Tuscany-cuisine. Simply Marvelous! — 6 months ago
My bottle isn’t a match but it is a Merlot Venezia Giulia…oh well…house wine at Parapiro’s Ristorante at Port Duquesa, Costa del Sol, Spain. Second visit, same wine both times. Didn’t have internet last time so I couldn’t log it in. — 3 years ago

Delicious all around. Sure we’re on an island paradise but this would be good back home in Tennessee at Thanksgiving — 2 days ago
