The first thing you notice is the orange rim. The smell of violets is over powering in he glass. Tobacco, tar, leather are prominent and the tannins are still firm. A wonderful wine with a long finish. After many Langhe and Nebbiolo d'alba wines it's nice to get back to Nebbiolo at its pinnacle. — 8 years ago

An absolute standout for the 2012 vintage from Orange. Classic butter like feel with a good lift from acidity, deep and complex. As good as any in the price range, — 12 years ago

Fantastic to find and drink from a 2014. Opens with smooth tannins and scents of oak and black currant. Fantastic with 2 hour decant. Venge is an amazing winery the continues to produce delectable wines year after year. The Bone Ash has to be the pinnacle of their Cabs, strong and beautiful Napa Cabernet. Cannot wait to see this wine in 5 and 10 years. — 8 years ago

A very powerful, almost muscular pinot, still needing a lot of bottle time to show its true potential. Savoury in nature. There is an initial taste of sour cherries along with a hint of raspberry and dried date, from there the palate is strongly savoury in nature. Forest floor, roast meat (pork?), cigar box, clove and wet clay all vying for attention. The tannins are very fine, but still a little chewy, especially on the sides of the tongue. The oak still quite evident. The balance seems good, and those savoury flavours linger seemingly forever. A deeply intriguing wine. It’s not the most accessible of wines, but I like it (a lot). Should be an absolute stunner in 5-10 years. — 9 years ago

Precise, ripe, a pinnacle of merlot and cab franc. A masterful treat...even before I found myself across the dinner table from Stephane Derenoncourt as he described the importance of limestone in his vineyards. — 9 years ago

Reddish violet black color with an auburn edge. Nose smells of baked ripe black cherries, creme brûlée, blackened toasted marshmallow. Richly layered and balanced with more baked cherries, burnt sugar, charred plum and slight mocha on the tongue. Mellow and oh so smooth. It's character slowly reveals itself layer by layer, yet leaves a wondering at what exactly that particulate note may be. Truly a complex wine. Their newest vintage of Syrah doesn't even hold a candle compared to this 2012 vintage. — 9 years ago

Very smooth, fruit forward with a lot of cherry. Not so long a finish. Very tasty. Not a pinnacle of Amarone but a tasty tipple nonetheless. — 10 years ago
