This wine is very dark. It looks that way and it smells that way, too. The nose offers a funky, earthy, dare I say barnyard-y package of aromas. The fruit that is there, the blackberry, currant, and black plum, is muted and dwarfed by the savory smells. Tar, creosote, forest floor, and cigars are the main event. The palate bears much more fruit. Flavors of dark berry, black currant, plum, black cherry, elderberry and black Mission fig all vie for attention. The mouthfeel is fairly elegant, which is surprising after the brute force of the nose. Fine tannins and a gentle acidity will make a nice pairing with meatballs in a Bolognese sauce or sautéed mushrooms. — 10 days ago

Smooth with lots of flavor. Fourth bottle of this type but unfortunately did not record the vintage. So removing previous entry although probably the same. — a year ago

Sweet. Flavorful. Feels thin, but does not lack in taste. — 3 years ago

9.1

Crisp and bright with acidity with notes of pineapple, lemon, and a touch of pear. A brilliant summer taste with enough acid to hold up to rich white sauces. — 18 days ago

Vintage 2019 | Calabria, from gaglioppo grape. Very refined bouquet, I determined the wine as Margaux. Laurel and red fruit explosion. Rondeur and potential. — 3 years ago
