When in Sicily... drink local #sicilianwine — 9 years ago
Wow, what a deal at < $20 / bottle
Wine spectator says #69 of top 100 of 2014.
A burly, brambly red, underscored by tarry smoke and underbrush notes, offering flavors of blackberry coulis, herb-marinated black olive, grilled mushroom and ground spice. This shows muscle that recommends it to short-term cellaring, made accessible by integration and balance. Drink now through 2024. Tasted twice, with consistent notes. #69 – 91 points — 9 years ago
Nice causal wine.

Botte 47. Phenomenally complex and constantly evolving. Initially savory with some animal fur, toasty honey (aged semillon) notes, slight star fruit. Then it evolved into dried flowers, mushroom, and dark fruit - reminded me of a young Barolo. Then black tea, green tea. Then strong dried spearmint, honeyed toasty complexity like the '81 Lopez de Heredia. Medium bodied with slightly elevated sparkling acidity. Not intense, but persistent on the palate. To borrow a phrase from Veronelli- It burrowed into my memory. I hope it made me forever better. — 11 years ago

light summery red – we really enjoyed this — 8 years ago
Honeydew melon, apricot, mandarin orange, pear, hay, subtle white flowers. Having never tasted Petite Arvine, this was fuller, richer and lower acid than I was anticipating for an “alpine white”. Almost caramel apple like on the palate. I see some similar characteristics with Savoie Altesse. Interesting. — 9 years ago
Full body but very little acid, smooth — 9 years ago

Немного пыльно-овсяного тона, сдобренного красными ягодами. Во рту мягкое, среднетелое с оттенком терна во вкусе, достаточно деликатное — 12 years ago

A rich honeyed wine with texture and palate intensity. — 10 years ago
Super oxidized (look at that color!). Almost like unfortified amontillado or something. Fairly rich, needs food — 12 years ago
Older vines this goes into barrique for aging — 12 years ago
