An absolutely amazing complex Italian red - hearty with some spice, earth and mature red fruit notes across the palate that just sing. Simply amazing & well structured that pairs nicely with a meal. Perfecto! — 2 years ago
Dark red plum on the nose. Rich deep flavors of black cherry, velvety soft on the tongue, low acidity, a hint of raisin at the end. A real luscious red. — 3 years ago
Great subtle smoky flavor with spice. As Tim puts it: "Think Pinot Noir had a threesome with garnacha and zin." — 5 months ago

First time with this grape for me. A nice, medium bodied wine with black cherry and fresh Italian prune with its skin dusting. Is that dried orange peel? Something drying. This one is all about Septembers picking these plums from my parents' old tree in the garden. Nothing too complex. I like this. — 4 years ago

Second take on this wine in a different vintage and, in short, I still like it. Red forest fruits and cherry on the nose, along with some mineral notes like slate and pencil lead, an earthy note too. The palate is long, acid driven, shows a bright cherry note all along. There are some earthy notes too and some width. The mouthfeel is rather smooth at first but develops into a lively tannic wall in the rear, powering up a long fruity finish with still some of these earthy notes and cherry. Good stuff but could use a couple of more years in bottle. — 4 months ago
