Excellent balance of fruit and organics. Ripe cherry and dried herbs on the nose. Cherry, Mushroom, mint, rosemary with a touch of licorice and cocoa on the pallet. Smooth tannins after a short wake up aeration. Well made! — 7 years ago
Was served chilled, and it was interesting to see how the flavor developed. A bit funky, in a good way. — 7 years ago
Great nose. Herbaceous. A bit too much bell pepper on the palate. Maybe should've decanted a bit. — 7 years ago
Strawberry / herbs w/o the sugar. Good for drinking on a boat. — 8 years ago
Smokey and complex. This is the epitome of nero d'avolo. This was my introduction to the COS Winery and I think it was a perfect one. — 9 years ago
A rich but very well balanced and delicate wine — 10 years ago
Not filtered, wild yeast, no temp. control... All the things that make a wine unique - and it shows here with some wild acidity. There is a pleasant sourness here with some cranberry and strawberry balsamic note and then that crazy, sour tannin structure. — 11 years ago
Terre Nere Campigli Vallone Rosso di Montalcino DOC 2018: Medium bodied. Perfect balance between tannins & acidity. Fruity youthful taste. Bright fresh notes of red fruits; additional tobacco, herbs & spice. Dry soft finish. Overall, high QPR for this Montalcino Sangiovese; a great vintage even though it’s a younger & lighter Rosso but it can easily compete with more expensive Brunellos! Highly recommend.

Extremely floral on the nose, intense red & blue fruit on the palate leading with cranberry right after opening, then blueberry, finishing with some earthiness and a slightly gritty texture leaving a finish on your palate reminding you the wine was there. Bottle really evolves after some decanting! — 7 years ago

Wild Cherry, raspberry, herbs and spices. Benefits from a short decant — 7 years ago
Great color. Cool varietal. Excessive Brettiness upon opening that aired out over night, but other than that... great notes of burnt orange and honey. The palate was creamy with very balanced tannins. This is the only other orange wine that has reminded me a lot of La Stoppa’s Ageno, which is one of my all time favorites. — 8 years ago
Unexpectedly good. In fact, unexpectedly still intact. A little jammy. — 8 years ago

Wow. Love this Sardinian. The front is big and salty. My favorite with big flavored food. I have not decided on the end yet. This went down with an awesome grilled pork loin seasoned in prunes and Dijon mustard. Side was a very flavorful split pea and onion mash. — 10 years ago
Très réduit à l'ouverture, il a gagné en ampleur depuis deux jours... Un vin du sud à mon goût, avec une fraîcheur exemplaire! — 12 years ago
Loire power couple Catherine and Pierre Breton have cab franc all dressed up. 2014 Les Perrieres is their prize - pretty now, will be beautiful in time.
Elegant and deep - traditional the way cab franc contributes to Bordeaux blends.
Old cedar and pencil shavings. Fresh raspberries and stewed plums and black cherries.
Concentrated perfectly - salty solution with a little grip. Plenty of time to mellow out. — 5 years ago


nice. frankly lacking a bit of finesse, but delicious in a straightforward kind of way. — 8 years ago
High score for enjoyability not complexity. Grainy fine tannins, real verve & energy, cassis/currants. Johannes find. — 8 years ago
What a great find and a steal for vintage champagne. Chardonnay with some texture, a creaminess that coats the tongue and a slightly toasty. Apples and pears. So round. — 8 years ago
Loved it. Tastes like a super Tuscan. — 10 years ago
Occhipinti triumphs again with a way-better-than-it-should-be-at-this-price killer Nero d'avola. — 12 years ago

…yeasty buttered popcorn nose, lovely fragrance, more buttery richness on the palate tempered by acid & minerality. Lovely. — 3 years ago
