Big rich nose. Loads of spices and dark berry fruits. Mulberry as well and a dark earthy character. Brooding. Palate is enormously complex with awesome icing on cake texture and dazzling purity. So clean. Elegant for such a big boy. Concentrated with lovely sweet tiny berry fruit that is so explosive and fresh. Clean and ultra pure. — 5 years ago

Super dry and earthy. Sucks moisture off your tongue like dirt. Heavy for a winter’s day. Not for food other than a heavy meat. But interesting and quite different in a good way. — 7 years ago

Raisins and black figs. Go for pairings with caramelized figs or bread pudding. Delicious and lightly tannic to cut through any rich dish, whether sweet or savory! — 9 years ago

Beautifully perfumed with spice and dried flowers and earth. Tannins have mellowed since last bottle a little over a year and a half ago, though still grippy on the sides of the mouth. — 7 years ago

Aromas of freshly cut oak trees, purple flowers and plums. Flavors of Dark cherry, baking spices, minerals and dill. Tannins are there, but they are refined. Excellent expression of this Umbrian wine. — 5 years ago
