Quite a different personality from its predecessor in 2016. This one is hyper floral with scents of geranium and damp rose petals, followed by what I can only describe as a candied maraschino cherry quality on the nose. The palate developed a more defined profile with a full day of aeration, showing crunchy cranberry, fresh thyme and hints of underbrush. Decidedly more delicate than the previous two vintages, but with striking character and nuance. Excellent with seared salmon. — 13 days ago
Slightly past it’s peak drinking window I think but still a very interesting wine. Blackberry, black cherry, kirsch, plum, black tea, spices. Lots going on w this one — 2 days ago
This is the higher end Calabretta, even though it’s very young compared to the house blend which is several years old. This has a bit of everything: gorgeous, deep black fruits, wild raspberry coulis,  and it’s quite taut. Always the mineral driven frame. Could go years & years. Very good juice, truly. — 6 days ago
17/20 (92/100) Оранжевое вино из муската (зибиббо) с выдержкой в амфоре. На удивление хорошо. Аромат напоминает розовые лепестки, луговые цветы и травы (полынь, тысячелистник). Невысокая кислотность, но баланс хороший. Легкая танинность. Отличное качество. (07.04.2019) #vinnatur2019 — 5 days ago
Yup, got some barnyard action, but it’s still very good. Barnyardy funk nudges out sappy red berry fruit on the nose. The palate is crisp and intense, with way less funk than the nose. Electric cherry fruit, crushed high-toned rock, and an intense savory component. Long, mouthwatering finish. — 13 days ago
On first sniff, it smells like dank mushrooms, sip is bright like a navel orange with a deep heft in the mouthfeel. It feels through your whole scent system, even down your throat. Could call it the edge of creamy with how it sits in the mouth. Savory finish like a fatty filet. — 7 days ago

Not fair to compare it to the Sagana since this one has 1 year less of bottle age. Nice wine but compared to the Sagana a bit restricted, closed. Maybe 1 year of extra bottle age would give a clearer view? — 4 days ago
