Oh my goodness. Let us now praise ravioli with porcini, crimino, truffle dijon and parm with cantalupo 93 bayard ghemme. I might bow down in thanks. — 12 years ago
Actually, 9.2 understates how good this wine was. Complementing a lovely menu, after a stern wine steward had demanded we let it breathe for 45 minutes, we had a wonderful experience. The wine, which had a tannic bite when we tasted an earlier sample, smoothly showed plum, cherry, and just a bit of minerality. We will remember this meal for a long time! — 8 years ago

This is an amazing wine and it is one of my favorite ones to bring to dinners. It is robust tannic fairly big and opens very quickly. As a cousin to the zinfandel it shows as it is extremely drinkable despite it's large tannic quality. Elements of black fruit and pepper remind me of both the zinfandel and the Shiraz. Anyone familiar Shirah from the Rhone Valley should definitely give this one a try. The only thing I will say is that I enjoy it with friends and less you can finish the bottle by yourself. It dies fairly quickly. — 9 years ago
Ethereal Ghemme that comes pretty close to rivaling Rovellotti and Antichi Vigneti di Cantalupo, who for me are the benchmarks. Vivid and fleshy red fruit, with black truffle poking its head out behind. Ever changing in the glass. I would happily forgo drinking this and simply smell it all night. — 9 years ago

A wonderful Italian Rosso. Blend that went perfect with pork tenderloin and still great sipping after dinner. And a value at $20. Would be great with pizza as well — 8 years ago
