Beautiful cherry aroma, full, fruity, a little vanilla, nicely balanced acid, but slight minerality at the end that I didn't love — 9 years ago

Floral aromatics with some flintiness--like verdejo meets Riesling. Something slightly oxidative hint on the end. Crisp lean and refreshing. — 9 years ago

'99 Dolcetto. I have not known Dolcetto to be age-worthy, particularly at a modest price point, but apparently I have merely been ignorant. — 10 years ago

Stunning. And something I did not notice last night is the 16.5 % abv. Fruit, earth and spice all on a lush sappy frame. Great. — 10 years ago

How do I love Scarpa - let me count the ways. This is benchmark, elegant Barbara of the highest order. Smells of roses, mushroom and black pepper. Texture is so soft and appealing. — 8 years ago

Funny. Negroamaro is not known for its shelf life... but this 2004 is drinking beautifully. The classic deep dark plum, mixed with earthy, wet Forrest floor that I've come to expect from negroamaro. This grape is so silky in the mouth. I love it. — 9 years ago

Really nice Barolo. I have had three or four of these over the last 15 months. Tonight with white truffles, pasta and some mains. Earthy, mushrooms on the nose. Took a while to open, but after about 90 minutes really sang. — 10 years ago

One of my fave wineries from Puglia. I have been a long time lover of the Squinzano, but this was spectacular! Ripe fruit with dried herbs and leather. Perfumed nose with cherry and dried lavender. Layer upon layer upon layer through the mid-palate, through to long supple finish. — 11 years ago

Told the oenophobe boyfriend to grab a bottle of Primitivo. Not wanting to disappoint the oenophile girlfriend, he came home with this and I could tell from the second I opened it, it would have a beautiful spice and finish. Boy did it. Yum yum yum. We had it with a honey-glaze roast chicken and it was utterly seductive! — 9 years ago

9.3

Fairly dull ruby with slight brickish rim. Deep forrest with prominent oak up front, and outlining aromas of wild and dark cherries on the nose. Second tear meaty aromas. Commanding presence right from the entrance, showing exuding elegance and phenomenal harmony. Quite long structure of very soft tannins and delicate fruit. Oak comes through quite a bit. I believe that this bottle is slightly just passed its plenitude. If you have a bottle of this fine wine, drink now. 92 pts. — 11 years ago
