Concord grape wine without a ton of sweetness. One of my favorites — 8 years ago
Black fruit- plum, currant and cherry. The herbaceousness is well integrated and not offensive. M acid, body and tannin. A hint of minerality on the palate. Balanced. Would be great paired with food. — 8 years ago

OMG this was good! The first impression was strong beautiful legs. Next was aroma blend of caramel and vanilla. The first taste is a dark berry blend with blackberry, currant and maybe a little citrus high note. — 8 years ago
Bright acidity with subtle peach flavors without the sugar. — 8 years ago
Deep garnet color, balanced red and black fruit bouquet, boozy, medium-heavy mouthfeel. Raspberry, plum, and blackberry on the palate, nice long finish with decent sapidity. Loved it with home-cooked beef, pepperoni, sun-dried tomato pizza. And, some sharp cheddar. — 9 years ago
Nice claret drinking wonderfully right now. The Tower Bridge in the background was an added bonus. — 9 years ago

On the nose, dark sour cherries, dates, burnt figs, grilled meats, burnt ambers, liquid smoke & dark dry florals. The core color is dark with garnet edges. The palate is; slightly sour but mostly sweet dark cherries, stewed plum, cooked strawberries, rhubarb, dates, figs, tomatoes, smoke, grilled meats, brewed coffee, light tarry notes, dry crushed rock powder, volcanic minerals, dark rich earth, dusty tannins, dry dark florals, soft chewy leather, nice round acidity with a decent, soft, elegant finish...50-50 fruit & earth. This is the largest co-op producer in Europe with 50 members. They collectively have 250 acres; which is about 1/6 of the total under vine. Photos of; the town of Barbaresco (their tasting room near the tower), Produttori cellar and their tasting bar. No appointment necessary. Close to Gaja and the town has one of the best one star Michelin lunches as well as the best service we've experienced. Just right of Gaja. Good with our Veal Bolognese. — 7 years ago
