Now we're getting serious.....
Wow......fantastic bottle,, but still has room to grow! Had a bunch of tannins yet, and showed lots of earth, exhibiting some wonderful fruits but not fully developed at its open, but a half hour later was just luscious. Have more, and glad I do! — 8 years ago

This is quite a complex wine. Give it some time to breathe and it will reward you for that. Doesn't need any more time to age, if anything drink it soon. I didn't have another to compare it to, but it may be just past it's prime. Primary flavours: Tobacco, stewed plum, dried sour cherry. Secondaries: leather, smoke, white pepper, vanilla. Tertiaries: green capsicum, spearmint. Full body, long finish, very intense, very complex, many levels of expression.

The short answer - buy it and drink it — 9 years ago

Texture! Had me at the first sip. High extract and a little bitter initially... Paired with an oily fish (pesto or rich sauce would also do) and this becomes a winner. #texture #macabeu #terraalta #mendal — 10 years ago

Needed some cooking wine for my braised short ribs. I bought a case of this for about $20 per bottle. It's nice. A little green, but a solid Napa cab. Very fresh and fruity. I think it will do the job nicely — 10 years ago

Another stunner from the Terra Alta Do, Edetària yields an untethered expression of Garnatxa Blanca. Animale, cantaloupe peel, and dried pear pave way to apollenous, expansive mid-palate that's rustic and refined at once. A pleasant tahini-like bitterness adds complexity to the finish. — 8 years ago

Cheiro de cereal, um pouco de verdura... Muito cheiro de terra. Excelente. Tanino forte, um pouco de fruta vermelha, mas o álcool mais tranquilo deixa ele bem equilibrado. Meu vinho número 300 aqui. Oferecimento do meu irmão. Sensacional. (: — 9 years ago

More like a crianza than a reserva. Good for easy drinking with nibbles although im sure it would match bold tomato or meaty flavours nicely too. Do watch out for DO Terras Altas, this is a typically excellent example of some of its wonderful offerings. Available in Spain for less than 6€ and worth that plus nosequé more! — 9 years ago

I tried this wine alongside a bunch of very good Barolos. A tough crowd from which to differentiate one. But this wine managed to do so by virtue of its extraordinary freshness: like sniffing a jar of Italian herbs that have had a bunch of cherries thrown in for good measure. A very unusual Nebbiolo but a fascinating one for sure. I'm eager to try other vintages of this singular wine. — 8 years ago

Whoa, I don't think the current ratings do this one any justice. Jammy on the nose. Oak, blackberry, black cherry, pepper and spice. Once this warms up it turns into a pleasant wine with a full body finish that's quite tannic with sufficient acidity. I'd definitely drink this again. — 10 years ago

Perhaps my favorite red wine produced in the contiguous south of Italy. This vintage is all over the place with camphor, creosote, tar, tobacco. I have to meet these people this year. I have an amazing story about this wine. Nic and Diane, do you remember the amazing "sleep under a bridge meal"? — 11 years ago
