It’s carignano, muristelli, cannonau and Cabernet. Not Grenache at all. Great and very rare. — 7 years ago

Made in Giffoni Valle Piana near Salerno, Italy.
This wine is produced by a single grape of Marbec. It tastes a fresh and fruit flavour. — 10 years ago
If memory serves—which it sometimes doesn’t—this was an inexpensive Garagiste “mystery” wine. And it’s not bad. Very light color with some ambering of the edges. Nose is Nebbiolo all the way, with macerated wild cherry fruit, lots of old barrel/mahogany scents, a a little gravelly hillside note. In the mouth, it’s a rather lean and austere style, good intensity, but a little angular, and the tannins are a bit scratchy. Needs food, which, luckily, I happen to be eating.
UPDATE: Night 2, after being under a vacuum closure, it’s softened and rounded in the mouth considerably. Upping score from 8.8 first night to 9.0. — 2 months ago

I have a huge sweet tooth so dessert wines are right up my alley. This just coats your mouth with sweet honeysuckle. Thanks to my bro @Todd Abrams for this recommendation. Hope you have more of this!! — 8 years ago

Delicious - rose petals, raspberries, light and refreshing with just a hint of sweet — 8 years ago
Very intense green pepper bell, flinty nose. Dried wild herb and violet jump out of glass. Saltiness and savouriness on the palette. There is also sour red cherry, fig and frutti di boschi as primary fruit. Long finish. Powerful wine. Lack a bit of vibrance. — 10 years ago
