Deep Ruby color with a bouquet of fruit, earthy herbs and floral notes. On the palate flavors of sour cherry and raspberry with notes of herb pepper, floral and earthy notes. Medium+ finish, ok balance with fine tannins ending with cacao, fruit and earthy nutty notes. Drink now!

Nearly tawny in the glass. Sarsaparilla, molasses, fig, cherry pit. Fully resolved. She’s down but not out. Surprising maturity given the age and vintage.

Well balanced with plenty of violets and red fruit on the nose and palate. Trademark tannin.

2008 so pretty and complex - black cherries, tobacco, flowers, forest floor, minerality - just outstanding!

Barolo. Sublime richness exquisitely balanced by tannin, framed by high acidity, and elevated by high-wire aromatics. Yes!

Barolo’s are new territory for us. It was a medium bodied wine with tannins that were not over powering. Easy on the palate and a smooth finish.

I actually quite enjoyed this wine — some similarities to the Rioja Alta Ardanza I had a few days ago. Low residual sugar, but also low tannin, pretty dry and with more secondary characteristics than I would expect for a wine this age. Still some mouth pucker, though.
