Let this breathe for a bit, so it loses the baby fat and shows it’s true shine.
Pure essence of black sweet cherries, a whiff of roses, with some black pepper and a dark rocky, mineral undertone. So fresh & enticing. There’s even a hint of burnt orange peel. Airy, spacious, fresh!
On the palate this shows bright cherry acidity, with a hint of blueberry, the rocky minerality underlining it all. Nice tannic frame - light yet with crunch. The alc (14%) sticks a bit out towards the finish but aber all this is a really lovely Barbera, esp. slightly chilled!
Just let it breath as upon opening it’s a quite different (and less interesting) wine. — 3 years ago

Medium to dark red color. Red black and blue fruit both tart and ripe. Sticks to glass. Medium plus body. Higher acidity and tannins. Smooth finish that leaves the tongue dry. — 6 years ago

NOSE:cassis, black cherry, leather, both baking spices and savoury herbs (like nutmeg and bay leaf). Plum and mulberry. Nutty vanilla. Smells like proper, grown-up wine - though not especially heavy.

TASTE: initially very good. Dry, bitter cassis, cherry, herbs, medium weight with nice velvety mouthfeel - but not a lot of the other fruit from the nose (more air improved). Tannins bring a long, dry, bitter finish - sticks on the tongue- burnt-plant. There’s a bitter herbaceousness that is almost like straight cassis berries (which I have in my backyard, so speaking from experience) - very elegant in its way. Went very well with steak and smoothed out with air, the dark fruit became more prominent...I think a long decant is in order. Many different impressions here … real stuff. 91-92. — 3 years ago

More buttery than the One Sky but still light and crisp. Gentle citrus with a hint of vanilla. First vintage for this wine, and a very promising start. — 7 years ago

Hands down the best Bourgogne I’ve had. Pure juicy fruit, semi-carbonic aromas, cinnamon sticks, wet slate ….lip smacking. Drinks akin to a passé-tout-grain. Beats out Leroy, and many many others. 🤯 — 4 years ago

A trip down memory lane. I understand now why I liked it so much around 10 years ago. It's the rich smell of spices, banana and yeast. It's the strong carbonated mouthfeel and the delicate caramel notes along with a nice bitterness which sticks onto the tongue for a very long while. It's rich, it's intense and it's strong. I grew a bit tired of it's richness which is as opposed as one can imagine to the eastern European lagers I'm used to these days. Very nice moment — 5 years ago

Been sitting on this for some time and blindly pulled it out of the cellar. My wife went for a second glass, which means she LOVED it. — 6 years ago

Crunchy almost snappy red berries, sticks and earth and a nice salty character at the finish...Overshooting it’s $15 price tag by far. Good Ol’ School Sangiovese! — 7 years ago
