Forget contemporary Marsala. Here is the closest, modern relative of the ancestral wine made in Marsala wine region, the Perpetuum. Stellar. — 12 years ago
Delicious! Nose was full and fruity. Blueberry pie, cassis, dark fruits and some floral notes. Tastes delicious. Some tannins that softened over the course of the bottle. Would be nice decanted. — 7 years ago
Some residual sugar; a little spritzy. Unusual flavor - grapefruit section dividers, sort of resinous notes but clean palate. — 7 years ago
Not a lot of fruit, but a ton of minerality and some nice texture. — 8 years ago
One of a kind Grillo. Went away for a week with a half a bottle left in fridge. Came home and it was still fantastic if not deeper in flavour and more balanced. Serious stuff. Big structure. Tastes of the coast of Sicily. 2011 vintage — 10 years ago
First time for me - 100% Grillo. Green almonds and hazlenuts immediately transported me back to being at seppeltsfield tasting show reserves from the early 1900s. Stunning. — 10 years ago
Intensely aromatic. Black tea, rose petals, red cherry and tar. Every component feels accentuated but in a very balanced way. Lots of fruit, good amount of acid, solid tannic grip and long finish. — 10 years ago
Best i've had in a long long time! — 11 years ago
Integer. Unfortunately, this wine is very rare. No sulphites, only native yeats, it's pure grillo grape. Yellow flowers, orange skin, peanuts butter in mounth, nuts and dried fruits. Awesome! — 12 years ago

BG barbaresco leads the pack. Round, rich, earthy, and full bodied. Great balance for the grape. Black cherry, cedar, and dried fruit. While not a top vintage, a benchmark that’s in its drinking window. St. Stephen will remain... — 6 years ago
