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. — 10 years ago

Very interesting wine. Started out burnt rubber, then moved to gamy earthy, wet autumnal leaves. A bright fresh green note persisted. Light cherries throughout. — 12 years ago

Unexpectedly good. In fact, unexpectedly still intact. A little jammy. — 9 years ago
Juicy blackberries, currants and black tea with moderate+ oak. Enjoyable. — 9 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. — 11 years ago
High score for enjoyability not complexity. Grainy fine tannins, real verve & energy, cassis/currants. Johannes find. — 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
Occhipinti triumphs again with a way-better-than-it-should-be-at-this-price killer Nero d'avola. — 12 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. — 9 years ago
