Oct 13th, 2016Not a big fan of #valpolicella but this was stellar. Huge abv but great texture, complexity, and length with minimal bitterness #bussola

Nov 24th, 2015Pretty tobacco, cream soda, fruit compote, menthol and vanilla on the nose. Med+tannin, ripe fruit, vanilla cream pie w/cherry, herbs and ripe raisins in the palate. In 5-years, this will be amazing!

Nov 15th, 2012So delicious! Yes, high octane at 15% ABV. Yet this wine is balanced. It has a medium ruby hue with medium(+), concentrated notes of rose, both ripe and dried black cherries, red plum, purple fig, dried prune, raisin, red licorice, wet stones, clove, and sweet tobacco. Acidity is medium(+) and tannins are medium, ripe, and smooth.
