Gorgeous and spicy. Pure fruit- deep plum and roses and a hint of leather and marmalade. Very pretty and poised. Gorgeous

Tasted blind. Dark tawny, opaque. Old wine nose with notes of dark fruit, chicory, hazelnut and vanilla. Like earlier in the day, the age of this and the notes mean it could be anything. I go with a guess of 50's Rioja and others are in similar areas. Although this never showed the old Italian barolo descriptors you'd correlate with it, this was a very well made wine and certainly better than the 64 before it.

Oct 26th, 2022Almost translucent. Looks like rose. Bright and shrill. Pretty and light and long. With time in glass opening up and getting haunting and gorgeous. Really interesting.

Oct 26th, 2022The nose on this is spectacular. Raspberry, wild strawberry. Cherry, licorice, earth and floral notes on the nose. A sweet intense palate- great tang and tension. A broad array of secondary flavors. Consommé-like intensity and lightness. Blown away by this wine.

Mar 13th, 2019Slightly soupy looking but dark. Gnarly blue fruit. Sour, then deep blue fruit. Showing really young alongside the cantina. A bit dumb right now but very pure.
