Delicious Piedmont white, 🍐🍋🍯 — 6 years ago
2007. Not overpowering - drinkable on it's own without a meal. — 7 years ago
Tasted blind. Dark tawny color. Translucent but barely so. Fragrant nose. Italian is the first verbal guess. Notes of black cherry, black soil, rose petals and some wood. Chewy in the mouth. Young and refined. After debating if it's an 89 or a 90 Barolo I go with a guess of 82 Giacosa SS Barbaresco. A great treat to try this side by side against the 78 Conterno Monfortino. Giacosa wins tonight. — 7 years ago

Digging this one too. Classic prune, deep flavor from the petit Verdot. Really nice not overly extracted. — 9 years ago
Fantastic, fruit forward blend. Pairs well with almost anything, even fish and poultry if the seasoning has spice to it. — 10 years ago

Another great Portuguese red, full of flavour and great with a rustic chilli con carne, will be adding a couple of these to the wine rack. — 9 years ago
Nice fruit and light, not as much tannins, smokiness too, some baking spices maybe. Cherries definitely, not as weighty in the mouth. — 9 years ago

S.S. Mandani
Rich perfume of spices and pomegranate. Specifically pomegranate. Beautiful bee pollen and mulling spices. No harshness. The fragrance of a rich and blossoming garden of roses.
Woah. Zippity zip. We got acidity, and it’s medium to high but with the natural carbonation and juice juice juice, it just works man.
It’s got sour framboise beer qualities, but of course the tannins and the cola like quality just sings.
Patting myself on the back for popping into Simply Wine in Financial District before a rooftop dinner party with some old friends. — 5 years ago
