Feb 9th, 2018Great stuff! Still an admirable tannic bite. If I had to describe it, I'd say it's two parts Roagna Dolcetto and one part Cayron Gigondas. A lovely pairing to lamb rib chops and garlicky baby potatoes.

Aug 12th, 2015Perhaps more interesting than enjoyable. Never in a red have I encountered such salinity, in fact imagine the most saline white and this would give it a good run. Medium - body, Med -tannin: Barbera-like. Unsweetened cranberry juice doused in salt, tobacco leaves and bacon fat.
