Belatedly and quietly. OK, good, but not quite together or nor aged enough. — 7 months ago

Gorgeous nose. Boundless fresh roses and mid season cherry. Lithe, subtle yet vivid and so delicate. Just stunning. Carema is a wonderland. Soft, sweet and elegant with tart cherries and dusty tannins. A bit reserved now but it’s all there. Perfect balance here and astonishing length. So elegant and aristocratic. As it airs palate gets more opulent in the mid and the fruit slowly gains clarity and definition. More to come with air! Nose turns smokey and tarry now with air. Glorious spice. — 2 years ago

Modest Nebbiolo nose but impressive palate. Juicy and very chewable with ripe and balanced tannines. Sligro keeps on offering an outstanding qpr on this one! — 6 months ago

Dinner party so no formal notes. Entering its prime drinkability window. Really nice balance and freshness to go along with the ‘15 depth. — 8 months ago

Nice Chianti with some age but nothing overly remarkable. Doesn’t have the fruit quality or precision or lifting acid on the finish that I was hoping for. — 3 months ago

Dark ruby core with a garnet rim. The nose is full of aromas of dried cherry, violets, rose petals and leather. Dark cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit flavors. Hint of black pepper on the short finish. Medium bodied with light tannins and mouth watering acidity. No evidence of oak aging. Basic “pizza wine,” but quite gulpable. Excellent QPR. — 7 months ago
