Punica Barrua. Appealing spicy and herbal notes from the carignan. The cab shows disproportionate influence for its low percentage, filling out the palate with plush fruit. Drinking in a very good place five years in.

Sardinia in a bottle. It would be awesome with grilled meat or wild boar sausage.

My bottle did not survive. The color was brown and there were strong balsamic vinegar notes. Still some enjoyment in the wine, but over the hill at this point.

This is singularly one of the most interesting delicious and spectacular wines I regularly drink. Beautiful complexity, nose, finish... simply amazing and every vintage works. Please find and drink this wine!
