Full bodied but not overwhelming. Lots of berry textures and the leather/nutty finish is very smooth. I could enjoy this over a broad array of meat and pasta dishes. — 21 days ago

Punching way above its weight, it is texturally very similar to the ‘02 CdlR. — 10 months ago

Very dry… like English humour. But it finishes off with a nice earthy and nutty finish. If you like tannins and puckering your lips this is fantastic. — 3 years ago

Muted dark fruits on the nose and palate. White pepper with a touch of cigar box on the finish. Balanced and firm. — 3 years ago

Truly an amazing value for the quality. Lingering, complex finish. Bright red fruit and a cinnamon/cardamom undertone. — a month ago

this is my style! distinctively old world style in a new world setting. jammy, earthy, peppery but also very blended. reminds me of a southern italian wine from calabria. — 3 months ago

The 2019 was absolutely delicious. Not too jammy but lip smacking all the same. Glad we have another bottle! — 3 years ago

9.1

Still showing a lot of tannic and acidic structure, but enough fruit to keep it in check once it had a few hours of air, youthful still, and brawny. — 2 months ago

N: Salty dried butterscotch/caramel, Seashore, old boats, rot in the best of ways.
P: Sweet but no… upon entry, the impression is of something unctuous and sweet, for a bit of a second, then DRY. Yellow and gold flowers/melon,
heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.
Varnish lacquer,
Really fine weirdo stuff. I’ve never splurged for the Quattro Palmas…but….
