Delicious dessert wine between port and Madeira- not as sweet as the latter. It’s delicious! — 7 years ago
This one surprised me. It was big and fruity with a structured, long lasting finish. Definitely one of the better Malbec's I've had. — 8 years ago
Great all occasion wine. Black cherry, twizzlers, medium low tannins. I would purchase again. — 8 years ago
Finally! Barolo at last. Nothing is like Nebiolo from Barolo in the glass, especially one that has had time to mature. The color wants to say, "I'm mature Burgundy!", but the rest of the wine says otherwise.
The nose is unique, with the unmistakable aroma of fresh rose petals, followed by cigar ash, red apple skin, wet pine needles, and tar.
This wine was decanted for 4 hours before consumed, and the tannins were as gripping as if I just opened it and poured it. The juice exhibited notes of sour dark cherries, raspberry tart, black tea, rose water, bay leaf, and a faint smoke tinge, all stretched out evenly through the lingering finish. Twas a true treat, and yet this puppy could have laid down to rest for another 15 years, still singing of its youth.
I paired this with what I made for dinner: Pan seared Bison Loin, with a cognac shallot sauce, and sautéed mushrooms, with steamed kale and garlic cloves.
Perfection.

Wish I could have tasted that over the course of 2-3 hours. It was dark, dry, and brooding. A witch over the kettle. Perhaps it is tasting better now, but sadly the bottle she is empty. — 9 years ago

Mycket gott med "pasta verona", delice de burgogne och parmesan. — 7 years ago
This vintage is darker and more concentrated than in the past, and at 14,5%, this is not your standard rose'. Raspberry, strawberry, an overall smoky/earthy feel, and minimal funk for a natural wine. A touch of sweetness shows up on the finish. Consistently good, year after year. — 8 years ago
Good but one dimensional — 9 years ago
One of a kind Grillo. Went away for a week with a half a bottle left in fridge. Came home and it was still fantastic if not deeper in flavour and more balanced. Serious stuff. Big structure. Tastes of the coast of Sicily. 2011 vintage — 10 years ago

Had this at mockingbird in Oakland. Loved it. Some floral notes also slightly peppery. Fairly full bodied — 7 years ago
Not a lot of fruit, but a ton of minerality and some nice texture. — 8 years ago
On 18/12/16 lillo e Barbaglini — 8 years ago
Distinct rich chocolate flavours. Blackberries, fig and plums through the centre, pepper to finish. A very concentrated and complex flavoured amarone. Among the best I have ever encountered. — 9 years ago

Raff
Pale lemon in colour. Herbal, with a bit of petrol, and lime on the nose. Fresh sage, gooseberry, and soft fennel notes on the palate. Medium acidity with the fennel/licorice lingering on the palate,coming around to ripe mandarins. — 4 years ago
