Smoky aroma, ripe plum and cherries, herbal, not overly complex. Had with Bazils pizza. — 6 years ago
From dad during a visit in late 00’s, in my wine loving infancy. Managed to sit on it, curious to see what would happen. Opened with dad last night to celebrate. Dark purple. Stewed fruits, cigar box, faint cocoa. Bordeaux-esque. Mellowed nicely with age. — 5 years ago

Had their ‘12 Sarmassa last year. Strawberry, pith, rose. Big, structured tannins. Killer for price. Coravin’d a few times before finishing with Detroit style pizza. — 5 years ago
From Wine Merchant Turley class on 6/26/20. Baking spices on nose. Mixed berries. Enjoyed it more with dinner than during tasting. Had with Vietnamese banh xeo and grilled pork over rice noodles. — 6 years ago

Been thinking about this since first trying it months ago (and forgetting to tag). Thanks to our good friends for brining to a big, red sauce dinner out. Dark, with strong iodine and dried fruit on nose. Dried fruit and herb, with the longest, fine grained tannic finish I can remember. Perfect decanted and with a veal chop. Maybe best I’ve had this year. — 4 years ago
