An absolute delight. Vibrant ripe red and black fruit, well balanced high acidity, moderate silky tannins. Complex and evolving in bottle and in the glass over the two hours it was enjoyed. Tasted 2011 vintage in July 2016. @jonsteeves rated 92/100 — 8 years ago
A wonderful deep ruby red Amarone with pronounced aromatics and typicity. Complexity in the glass in aromatics and on the palate. Showing dark chocolate, ripe plum, dried dates, ripe cherry, and fresh cedar plank. Tasted decanted after 3 h. Full bodied, well balanced medium tannins, medium acidity, medium plus fruit. Pair with BBQ chicken, braised ribs, beef tacos or on its own. I have a deep appreciation for appasimento style wines and this is a fine example. @jonsteeves rated 91/100 - tasted June 2016 — 9 years ago

Single vineyard fruit, estate bottled, PAGO quality, from Navarra region. Old leather, juicy blackberry, dried fig, plump ripe plum, lush tannins, medium acidity, a hint of savoury. Offering fantastic value, this is a quality red ideal for pairing with gourmet bison burgers or BBQ filet mignon, a goat cheese and fig slice canapé with prosciutto, or easily on its own.
