JL Sardinia tasting 1/17/17. 14% ABV. Super Sardinia. Two years in one year old oak. Cannonau. $68. Tannic ands earthy nose. Too oaky. Long finish that's got that typical woody profile. $68.

2011 vintage. 85% Cannonau (Grenache). Deep ruby hue. High concentration of red plum, red cherry, almond paste, sweet spices and old oak wood. Some garrigue. On the palate, medium minus acidity, full body, medium plus alcohol and medium ripe tannins. Very primary. Medium length. Very concentrated. Too much for me. Leave until 2021 and drink until 2027.

Beautiful structure, firm, ripe. Playfully gamey, deep and silky. Dry herbs, black fruit.

Excellent!

Delicious, tannic, funky. It was dynamite with Point Reyes blue cheese.

Aged in French barriques said to be the numero uno Sardi red wine. It is indeed splendid and we loved it ! Hence the high rating.
