Takes a little while to open up, so decant this one. Super gulpable once it's had time to get its bearings in the glass. Flavors of prunes and dried figs with notes of cured meats, herbs, and coriander — 9 years ago

A nice bright wine. My first experience with Corvina. I find the body to be full vs. the head or tail, but overall, a noce drinking wine. Good red fruits with an almost citrus or mint burst. — 10 years ago
Noce cherry, plum, and toasted oak with a richness initially and some good viscosity and structure. A little lacking in acidity but good Napa Cab under $30 nonetheless. — 10 years ago

Strega is an interesting Italian liqueur...better described below. I only sporadically enjoy it, but it's fun and tasty at each sip.
"Strega is an herbal, saffron-infused liqueur deeply tied to the secret world of witchcraft. Witches are said to convene in Benevento to perform rituals and honor Il Noce, the sacred walnut tree. (The lower part of the logo shows witches dancing with demons around Il Noce.) According to legend, Giuseppe Alberti, son of a grocer, saved a witch from falling out of a tree in the woods. In gratitude, she gave him the recipe for an elixir, which the Alberti family began selling in 1860, perhaps as a curative or restorative.
The liqueur's proprietary recipe is a mix of 70 herbs and spices which include Ceylon cinnamon, Florentine iris, Italian Apennine juniper, Samnite mint, fennel, and saffron. Saffron is the key to Strega's signature yellow color and it shares the spotlight with mint and juniper as the most pronounced flavors within the herbal mixture." — 8 years ago

Did a noce vertical experiment tonight with friends (2014-2015-2016). This Claret is a great classic Bordeaux style blend. This 2016 is the heaviest Matthews Claret I had so far. Definitely much drier than the ‘14 and ‘15 but the tannins are smoother. Not as fruit-forward with more spices. — 7 years ago
