Crisp and fresh with Neeta Patel — 7 years ago
This is officially one of my favorite wines. The first time I bought it it came to me cooked. The second batch I got was amazing it is much like the Mastroberadino aglianico Campania. However it's much more subtle and complex. There's elements of smoke and dark fruit and tobacco. It drinks almost like a really good Maduro cigar smokes. In fact I would go as far to say it is the wine equivalent to the Rocky Patel Edge Maduro. It goes down easy despite having a fairly full body. I don't know if it's worth the price of the $50 range however I would very easily shell out $35 to $40 for this item. — 8 years ago
Garnet color with a brick edge. Big Smokey Nose. Flavors of Blackberry, Cassis, cigar box, black licorice and pencil shavings. Beautifully smooth with a very long finish. Smoke remains right through the entire drinking experience. Thank you Petey Patel. Revisited in July 2023. Wine is still bright and alive and in a very good place. Quite a treat. — 6 years ago
Nice fruit notes (black cherry or plum). Not overly sweet. Paired well with a Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro. — 8 years ago
