An amazing wine for under $20 a bottle. Agree with Ian Cauble whose states "Lush full bodied palate". Made to go with food. Decanted for 45 minutes. — 9 years ago

Another Encruzado, this one hauled back from Portugal over the summer. Lovely, nutty, a touch of oxidation, but very clean and fresh. No US importer. — 11 years ago

Well done but a little heavy on the oak or at least it's not well integrated. — 9 years ago

Amazing Brunello '09. Silky smooth, brick color showing. Great mineral-driven nose with black olives. Tastes incredible, pairs excellently with tomato-based dishes. My wife said it was a "highway by which the flavors of the meal were transported into her." I'll have to have her write my stuff more often. — 9 years ago

Nice on its own. A little fruity but not too much. A bit of spice and smoke too — 10 years ago

Blind, I would have said this was a modern BDX. A touch brambly and dark with lifting acidity. What a surprise. A true delight with a porcini dusted porterhouse. Yum! — 10 years ago

I get tastes of honey and a little syrupy-ness to it. Quite delicious. — 9 years ago

Martin Redmond

9.3

Hazy yellow tinged gold color with aromatic, appealing quince, pear, orange marmalade, and wet stone aromas with a appealing oxidized note. On the palate it's well structured, full-bodied, and very fresh, yet lushly textured with fine grained well integrated tannins like an orange wine with tart quince, pear, orange and vanilla flavors, with a hint of baked nectarine and a long mineral driven finish. 12.5% alcohol — 10 years ago

Crisp but earthy, substantial, and really does taste like pecorino (which is a good thing) — 10 years ago
