For $25, a great value. Doesn’t have the age to make it memorable. But a great value rioja. Well balanced. Could probably keep aging. Def buy again. — 2 days ago

Excellent Nebbiolo. Nicely balanced but big tannins. Perfect w carbonara. Fruit profile is more subtle. Paid $65 at resto. — 24 days ago

For $19, a bargain. Robust all around but balanced. Long finish. Earthy. Dark and inky. Rich blackberry. Buy again. Better than other $30-40 riojas w more age. — 2 months ago

For $28, this is why I like aged rioja. Such a great value. This one still seems young. But well balanced. More fruity and acidic than others I’ve had w this age. Buy again. — 3 months ago

Amazing. I haven’t had many barbaresco and barolos. But this barbaresco w age is wonderful. Age shows beautifully. Still strong tannins, earthy, mushrooms, rich cherries, long finish. Paid $140 at resto. — 22 days ago

Love it. Though big, bold, and high al at 14.5%, a great example of a rioja w some age. Prob could age much longer. Very tart fruit. Fruit better defined day one vs day two. For $40, definitely worth it. Why ever drink a 2yr old CA cab and pay $100+??!! — a month ago

So so. I didn’t realize this was solely a Grenache wine. I also didn’t know Grenache was produced in Marche. It was nice but nothing memorable. For $90 at a resto, way overpriced. — 23 days ago

Superb. Organic aglianico. Rec’d by sommelier. Pricey for eur110 at a resto. But memorable. Big, chewy, tannic wine. Spices, earthy, figs. But nice balance. 14% al. — a month ago

Pretty disappointing day one and day two. High al at 14.5% made this seem unbalanced. Fruit profile was very muted and undistinguishable. Not worth the money. Paid $50 in 2021. — 2 months ago
