Good choice for washing away the taste of cherry funk. Easy drinking with malty hops and just a hint of sour character. Pairs well with the spicy notes of a well-humidified Rocky Patel. — 11 years ago
More Italian wine with Dinesh Patel and Carmen Baggett — 14 years ago
This is officially one of my favorite wines. The first time I bought it it came to me cooked. The second batch I got was amazing it is much like the Mastroberadino aglianico Campania. However it's much more subtle and complex. There's elements of smoke and dark fruit and tobacco. It drinks almost like a really good Maduro cigar smokes. In fact I would go as far to say it is the wine equivalent to the Rocky Patel Edge Maduro. It goes down easy despite having a fairly full body. I don't know if it's worth the price of the $50 range however I would very easily shell out $35 to $40 for this item. — 10 years ago
Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary Maduro. Robusto size. Wrapper is milk chocolate in color, a few veins running through the leaves. Box-pressed for an outstanding tight pack. Smell is leather, black pepper and chocolate. Nice draw, lots of thick smoke produced. Flavor is elephant hide, dry hay, dark chocolate, and espresso beans. Full flavored. Really nice complexity and overall a highly enjoyable smoke. — 10 years ago

Nice fruit notes (black cherry or plum). Not overly sweet. Paired well with a Rocky Patel Sun Grown Maduro. — 9 years ago
