Big cherries and slight alcohol on the nose that comes off as flowers on the palate, then, with air, the nose opens to figs, plums, blackberries, brown sugar. The cherries are super sweet, and there's light spice, fennel, nutmeg, and light leather on the palate, and a cherry skin or overripe fruit, barnyardy-savory bitter edge on the finish that I am very happy about. Some mouth-coating tannins on here, which soften, but certainly do not go away, the tannins give it structure the way that minerals do elsewhere. I don't think they take from this nimble wine, and they give it a character of its own: rustic and highly fragrant. — 7 years ago

So smooth, so distinct, so filled with orange citrus and China... Basically Sicily in a glass. Bravissimo! — 8 years ago
Sour cherry, raspberry, lovely acidity and some tannin too. Great Italian red blend and great pairing for lamb pappardelle — 9 years ago

Fascinating and delightful wine from the rare Centesimino grape made naturally. Lithe and pretty and very nose: red fruit - raspberry, plum, cherry; flowers - jasmine (?) and lily (?); white pepper and five spice. No oak. Full bodied. Medium plus grainy tannin. Medium acid. Pleasingly dry. Long finish. High alc in balance. Fruit character has a slight tartness that keeps this fresh. So yummy. — 8 years ago
Leather, tobacco, spices, juicy, delicious.
Not very complex though. — 9 years ago
Holy shit. Amazing acidity still at the core with deep amber toffee, bananas foster for miles & miles on the nose. Palette was that killer acidity with saline on the edge. Ruch nuttiness throughout. Steller. — 9 years ago

By the glass. I think this was it? $20. Orangina up front with a lingering savoriness. — 5 years ago
