This is a very rare wine made from a single 40 hectare vineyard Italian grape called "ruche." A well-known Italian critic gave this and the previous, 2011 vintage 99 points and declared it Italy's best red wine. I don't know about all that, but it's a very good wine. If give it 94 points. Unusual combination of flowers, earth, smoke, and red fruits on the nose and palate. A very good wine. Excellent with food as well. — 11 years ago
My mom is my favorite wine critic; "There's a whole lot of.flavors in there!...I can't name any of them, but they're all there!"
I got you covered, mom.
Black pepper, lean brambly red and black fruit, hints of jerky. — 10 years ago

That's right. Not enough happy faces. As the toughest wine critic I know says "Delicious". Good luck finding it in the US. K&L carries some of their other great juice but not this 80 Grenache 20 Cinsault beauty. 16 euro at the winery. Cannot get any better. Our favorite from the Languedoc (12 wineries in 2 weeks). My wine of the year for 2013!!! — 12 years ago

Delicious wine from a tough vintage. After 4 hrs of decanting the fruit is coming out while the oak is settling. Look forward to another 3-5 years to enjoy another bottle. I think this vintage will surprise many common and critic. — 10 years ago
One of the better wine's for under 25 dollars that I have tasted. Very smooth. My wife even likes it and she is a tough critic. Great wine. — 11 years ago

Impressive, especially since one major wine critic said this wine should be old at this point. This drank alive, healthy and well. Could be drank on its own without food as it's very Savoy (sexy fruit) throughout. — 10 years ago
