Huge nose of plum, lavender, strawberry jam, raspberry jam, vanilla, almond extract, and cranberry. Big red fruit on the palate of dark cherry, fresh raspberry, cranberry, as well as black tea, licorice, menthol, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, leather, white pepper, sage, oak, and blackberry. Medium plus tannins, high alcohol, and high acid. — 5 years ago
Drank what was left from a bottle I Coravined a few months ago then refrigerated. Hadn’t lost any of its freshness or structure, there were only 5 or 6 ounces gone from the bottle when I opened it. Beautiful red fruit, great balance of fruit, acidity and tannin. Made from specific old vines grown on sandy soil in cool vintages. Stunner! — 7 years ago

Your grandmother lives in a far too cute rural cottage. You wake up in an antique timber cot, the house redolent with pot pourri. Mid morning sun pours through the broken screen door to an empty kitchen, where blackened steel pots are abundant, but no grandma. You push through the screen, to a wild, wild garden, overgrown with wildflowers, berries, citrus, tomato vines, and a cacophony of terracotta potted colour. Grandma beams in flowing Liberty print, nibbling a nasturtium, a mischievous twinkle in her eye. “Someone finally decided to wake up...” — 5 years ago

Very nice. Easy to drink — 7 years ago
Different than I was expecting - much more floral and with a stronger boquet of lavender and violets than the leathery and dried tobacco. Dark cherry, medium tannin, some plum. — 7 years ago

Hell yes. Delicate, balanced big refreshing bubbles for summer. This Italian sparkler from the Veneto is comes from master Barolo-maker Livio Sassetti as part of his war against over-sulfured Italian bubbles. Pink pomegranate, candied tangerine peel and guava notes with a hint of plum - from the Merlot, no doubt. Elegant, zesty and flamboyant with an in-your-face creamy finish. Extra-dry spumante, like extra-dry Champagne, is in the range we call "off-dry" in absolute terms. For reference, wine that is still in the absolute dry category can have up to 9 grams of residual sugar; this wine has 12; cocacola clocks in at 110. — 8 years ago

Seems very light but actually taste is rich and the wine has strong tannins. Surprisingly mature smell. — 10 months ago
