Pretty rockin nose of cinnamon, dirt, bramble, oak and spice. Big fruit and spice on the palate with a pinch of tannin left. Still has a few years left, but thinking this is the apex. First time Bello and its a winner in my view. — 9 years ago

Radikon: 'I make my whites like reds, so you also drink them as reds.' Sweet tannins, spices and even some fruity notes. Loooong skin maceration (30+ days). Maverick wine. Very unusual. 2001 was the last vintage Radikon used a little sulfite, from 2002 onwards he stopped using it. — 10 years ago

Pretty, pretty purple. Gotta let this breathe but it really starts to express itself after some time passes. Big nose with bold fruit. Everything is dark here. Cherries, leather, and old school Italian funk. I'm loving the acidity and the mouthfeel. — 9 years ago

Very clear and pale in color that flows out into a beautiful golden rim. An intense burst of lemon zest and subtle crisp Granny Smith apples. Very tart and vibrant. My mouth is watering for more of this wine with its higher acidity. I thought this wine was absolutely delicious! — 9 years ago
