Rustic aromas of turned dirt, purple flowers, fresh herbs, tart and wild berries. Elegant pallet of ripe cherries and red berries, black licorice and leather. Fresh and well balanced acidity. Very pleasant. Thanks for bringing Chris B!

Cherry fruit with licorice, tar, earth, black olive, some leather notes, and a touch of menthol and iron on the finish. A medium to fuller style of Rosso di Montalcino.

This needs time. When it finally opened up, the aromatics and palate were all that I could ask for. Cherries, mint, savory, almost eucalyptus like. Either decant for 45 min - 2 hrs or give it 3/4 years. Or just let it open in bottle over the course of the evening.

Exploring some Italian Sangiovese. Medium bodied, flavors of blackberries and black cherries with hints of vanilla or brown sugar. Drank in memory of Ron Hughes.

A glass given to us after spilling some Barbaresco. Rich dark cherries with a hint of dark chocolate. Silky and full.

Fruity, sweet up front but dryer on the end. Ripe berries. Green vegetables. Green tomatoes and green peppers a bit as well.
