At Hawksmoor with Jodi and Nic — 16 days ago
Medium acidity, apple on the nose, stone fruit, maybe some tropical and honeyed notes on the palate. — 4 months ago
2023 vintage.
Bright ruby red in the glass.
Aromas grab you immediately wth ripe cherries and lifted dark floral notes.
Bright ripe cherries, tea, young leather, a bit of subois earthy notes with a finish of Morello cherry bitterness but not overpowering.
Polished tannins with crisp acidity. Biodynamicly grown.
Try Corte Pavone Brunello di Montalcino if you have the opportunity.

Unnecessarily heavy bottle. Nose is quite vinous, showing bright winey berries and cherry licorice candy, along with a whiff of almond paste. The palate is vigorous but bright and fresh, with nice depth. Tangy acids and a little metallic/mineral note in the slightly bitterish finish. It’s got the “cleansing” character that pairs well with casual, tomato-saucy Italian dishes. I could be wrong but I’m guessing that this has no slightly dried grapes in it nor was any appasimento technique used. Just fresh ripe grapes. — 15 days ago

Wieder mal ein Sforzato. Dies, nachdem ich mich bei den letzten etwas „sattgetrunken“ hatte. Dieser…ist….anders. Harmonisch, elegant balancierend zwischen klarer himbeerfrucht, leicht animalischen noten und….alk (16%!!). Traumhaft gut eingebunden. Also…den hier…würde (nicht nur) ich auf eine insel mitnehmen ;) — 5 months ago
Needs food but not the spiciest red. And not too dry either. This is happens to be the strongest wine we tried tonight (1/8/2026) — 7 months ago

Dry as Dirt…. — 5 years ago

Tannic in character but ultimately quaffable, drank recently with my Penne Rigate al Ragú alla Bolognese (my own concoction) only £5.29 from Lidl just down the road from me. — 2 days ago
Brighter with a smooth mouth feel. Nice length. Great QPR! — a day ago
Fresh, enticing, elegant.
Nose with earthy, musky raspberries, mulberries, a touch of damson plum, and a light flowery whiff
On the palate this is silky smooth. Zero rusticity, chewy tannins or sharp acidity - so often found in Montepulciano.
This has flow, energy, good depth, nice minerality underneath the fruit. And all this with 12% alc.
This is not at all what I expected! What a delight, what a nice surprise!
Very elegant, smooth, delicious.
A brilliant example the Montepulciano can deliver great wine!
Only but - you get 2 bottles of Ziereisen’s Syrah for one of this - and blind I would not be able to tell the difference.

Difficult but I gave it the benefit of the doubt…at opening a total disappointment, after an hour ok’ish, after 3 hours wow and at the end quite close again. I guess time in the cellar will tell? @Dave listening to George Michael — 12 days ago
