Very earthy with strong, concentrated taste of berries, spices, some chocolate and even a bit charcoal. Fresh acidity next to good tannins. Some oak on the finish. Second great wine from Vietti I've tasted. Love the label as well. — 12 years ago

Quite rude on the nose. A bit underwhelming and sourish in taste. — 12 years ago

Another beauty from Wirra Wirra. Of course it's a bit young still, but already good to drink. Lots of spices, plum, soil, a bit of vanilla from the oak. Wish they'd use more corks though. — 12 years ago

9.3

Really delicious. Very rich in flavour but also elegant. With a lot of young fruit, blossom, vanilla and some spices. Has a nice story as well: the winemaker bought a small vineyard just outside Pomerol to make wines he loves without having to think about rules and regulations. — 12 years ago

(2010) A little sweetness, a small sourness and a bit of oak. Pretty pleasant; nice and decent wine. Too bad there's not much of an aftertaste. — 12 years ago

2007. Beautiful. Very concentrated, thick plums, black currant, rich in soil in aftertaste but still very approachable. Excellent. Yum(e)! — 12 years ago
