Paolo Bea

Rosso de Véo Umbria Rosso Sagrantino 2018

9.3

Paolo Bea dinner at Semo. All wines were prepared by opening and slow-ox, prior to service. Abbreviated notes due to the setting. The 2018 Rosso de Véo pours a deep garnet with wild dark fruit, high end dark dark chocolate cherry cordial, some VA giving it some balsamic notes. Sanguine with high tannin. Loving it with the pork ragu lasagnette made with semolina flour from the Bea farm. Drink now with patience, through 2038. Bottle No. 77/4626 — a month ago

More VA wine: Love finding some older vintages that have fattened up: sparkling gold color w/lemon cream nose, white flowers, coconut & butterscotch. Decadent nose, oily & viscous on palate, yet clean vibrant, fairly balanced w/some tropical fruit and golden apple & more lemon. Decent length on finish. — 4 years ago

Tart cherry, hibiscus, spring foliage. Sediment has fallen out nicely. Some rose coming on. Almost brilliant but lots of va. A little bit acetic. — 4 years ago

Love this wine. But the more than intermittent parcels with affected with VA make me wary.

Josh Morgenthau

@Jae Cho definitely. As far as flaws that can be interesting in moderation I’m fine with some VA but in this case it’s overkill. Other bottles I’ve had of the same wine haven’t been the same.

What a delicate/feminine style… Almost ankida Pinot-esk with a mandarin/tamarin finish. — 5 months ago

Gorgeously floral nose. Unreal mid season cherries with such lift and clarity. Wow. So clean. Gorgeous spices as well. Palate is juicy and clean. Sappy, pure and clean. Just a great and classic bottle of Liaison. Wispy tannins. Excited to see how this develops. After 24 hours nose is so deep and has great roses and violets. High toned mid season cherry. Really pretty. Terrific spice and only a tiny VA that just adds and does subtract. Palate is juicy and lean. Clean and classic. So linear and clear. Such great mid season cherry fruit. Nimble and not as powerful as recent vintages. — 2 years ago
