Had the 2021 in November of 2025. Fantastic wine. Black cherry on the nose for sure. Hints of plum and very dry. Paired extremely well with Greek style baked beans and Greek meatballs in a rich tomato sauce. The hint of cinnamon in both dishes made this wine stand out. Hope to have again. — 8 months ago

Love. The aroma smells like notes of briny olives. Tannic but still smooth. — 4 months ago
Dark fruit, tar, light but powerful. Reminds me of good piemonte nebbiolo. — 7 months ago
