An airy, effusive and downright beautiful wine is the 2018 Taganan from the Tenerife Envínate property of modernist Spanish winemakers Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente. Created from 100-200 year old vines on volcanic soils, it’s a delicate, restrained wine with a gorgeous, smoky bouquet of sour cherry, strawberries and Provençal herbs; the palate, meanwhile, is saturated with very fine tannins, almost imperceptible acidity and nice length. Served lightly chilled, this is an exciting wine which should gain further interest with age. — 3 years ago
Rich perfume of spices and pomegranate. Specifically pomegranate. Beautiful bee pollen and mulling spices. No harshness. The fragrance of a rich and blossoming garden of roses.
Woah. Zippity zip. We got acidity, and it’s medium to high but with the natural carbonation and juice juice juice, it just works man.
It’s got sour framboise beer qualities, but of course the tannins and the cola like quality just sings.
Patting myself on the back for popping into Simply Wine in Financial District before a rooftop dinner party with some old friends. — 5 years ago
Very nice! Dark Berry fruit aroma. The berry continues with the flavor along with a cherry finish. Went nicely with Penna, Italian sausage and eggplant marinara. — 3 years ago
Bellísimo! Eucalyptus gave way to lavender and cocoa. Tightly wound cherry with long tannic finish. Had with frito misto, gnocchi pomodoro, margherita pizza and herb rack of lamb at Casa di Don Alfonso. First indoor meal in >1 year. Was like riding a bike. — 4 years ago

Library 2015s courtesy of Adam via Wine Merch. Cherry, hints of tobacco and cocoa. All the edges nicely softened. Great with Casa Don Alfonso. — 2 years ago
Good balanced tanin. Still very present, but very enjoyable. Strawberry, with touch of earth flavour — 5 years ago

Not as rustic as Galloni describes it and not as over the moon as Audrey. This is a nice Langhe nebbiolo with what you expect with a translucent ruby color, classic aromas and typical palate. Don't expect fireworks but is is very well done for what it is.
Translucent ruby red, with aromas of strawberry, cherry, and red raspberry, some rose petals, orange peel, and subtle spices. Med+ bodied, medium grain tannin, med+ flavor intensity, with a pretty, youthful and fresh finish. — a month ago
