Intense, brooding, and complex nose. Dark cherry, plum, sandalwood, and charcuterie. The palate is med/full bodied, med acidity and delivers quite opulent sour cherry and plum fruit. Smoke and chocolate on the end palate. Very long. A bit heavy relative to a burgundy, but the flavour profile, complexity, and length do not disappoint. — 6 months ago
Medium ruby color; cherries, dried herbs, and black plums on the nose; high acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like sour cherries, wet gravel, and cranberries with a long finish. Nellie likes it with the lemon chicken I made. I love it. — 10 months ago
Pale straw color. Smells green and citrus. Chalk and lemon on the tongue, with a grapefruit aftertaste. Crisp and very slightly effervescent. — a month ago
High acid, medium bodied and tannins. Petrol, black fruits, and barn yard on the nose. — 3 months ago
A young Aglianico, crunchy, joyful with dark cherry but also some tidy rock, a bit of blood & iron. A whiff of dried herbs.
Nice, juicy tannins - a proper bit yet so finely polished. Bright acidity worth a good mouthfeel.
Not decanted and so drinkable. — 9 months ago
A great go-to red. Very nice Chianti, we’ll-balanced. A wine for everyone. — 2 years ago
Très surprenant. Un vin à $16 (SAQ-Cellier) qui passe super bien. Sec 2.5g de sucre, fruits rouges, mi-corsé, très rond, bien équilibré, descend très bien, très fluide. 90% Sangiovese 10% Carbernet Sauvignon, c’est comme un Chianti mais non assemblé selon les normes, mais il est très bon. — 2 months ago
Typically brilliant #chianticlassico 85% #sangiovese 15% #merlot. Red / violet floral + woodsy nose, classic earthy-iron varietal aroma, bright acidity, soft tannins and a bit of roundness courtesy of the Merlot, some spice on the finish. Brilliant pairing with Chicken Paillard topped with blue cheese which brought out the spice in the wine, interestingly enough. — 4 months ago
Great white wine with very rich fruity taste. — 10 months ago

Tangerine peel, grapefruit, kiwi fruit and grass clippings rush forth as the 2023 Rosato Ali unfurls in the glass. Expressive, cheerful and open for business, the Ali is light on its feet but neatly framed. Just the right amount of spice-inflected bitterness wraps up the finish. $20.00 (Billy Norris, Vinous, June 2024) — 5 days ago
