Love this producer! Super classic and drinking perfectly right now with all of the secondary notes just starting to poke their heads out and say hello. Lemon custard, buttered brioche, nougat, candied hazelnut and pecan. Almost flawless. I could drink this wine often. — 9 years ago
The wine was $3 at grocery outlet. It is definitely cheap wine. It's a little fruity with citrus after thoughts :) the ethanol is definitely present. Back before I had the majority of this bottle I thought it was pretty strong. It's not the worst wine I've ever had, and for the price I'd call it quite fair. The label really tips the scale :) — 10 years ago
Delicious. With a big 1.5 kg t-bone grilled on a salt block (for 3 people, I'm not a complete pig), mmmmm. Not as floral and complex as a Barbaresco, but nice complexity and excellent finish. — 8 years ago
