Drinking something unique and old like this is often a joy. But, I’d put this in the interesting but not delicious category. Brown like a Solera sherry, I can really only imagine this wine working in a haute cuisine pairing. Or in Sardinia on a cliff overlooking the sea, eating fried fish or some pecorino with tartufo and nuts as an antipasto. — 4 years ago
Mineral and yellow/green apple driven. Delicious and some more richness and body compared to vermentino. From a town south east of Oristano. — 2 years ago

Amber colour. Aromas of cedar and nuts and dried fruit with overripe suzina plums after the wasps have got to them. Tastes very dry but has a sweet rich warm mouthfeel. Sherry like but very clean if that makes sense. For me the perfect aperitivo. — 5 years ago
Very soft and smooth for a Cannonau. Black cherries, plums, earthy, slight tobacco. Very smooth, lingering finish. — 6 years ago
Bonisimo! Blackberries, licorice, tobacco, and spice. Smoothest Cannonau we have ever had. — 3 years ago
Excellent Vermentino. Dry, crisp with subtle flower notes. Doesn't get any better than this for the price. — 4 years ago

This thing is gorgeous, a little known gem that could compete with Jura at 2-3x the price. Nosebleeds with ample dried apricot, almonds, orzata/almond milk, some ginger, some baking spice. However, the oxidative notes are wonderfully balanced by a punchy salinity that keeps the whole thing alive. At 10C it hits a peak of expressiveness and drinkability. Closer to 15 and the 15.5% alcohol starts saying hello — 7 months ago
