Target market: North America. That said, good show 👏 bold dark fruit, and not at all like any other perricone I’ve had. I’d drink this on the regular, it’s great. — 14 days ago

4 years after trying this vintage the first time and calling it Nirvana-esque. I rescind. Didn’t live up to the expectations. Less Nirvana and more Skin Yard. It’s a decent nebbiolo, but if you’re gonna call it a Barolo, it lacks. — 3 months ago

Even better 4 1/2 years after the first time I tried it. This wine/vintage over-performs. Comparable to some of the higher end riservas. — 3 months ago

Good wine. Not as big and buttery as I had hoped. Had it during a power outage in an ice storm with some oysters. Some wines are made for moments like these. — a month ago

Cool label, wine tastes more like Sauvignon blanc than I’m comfortable with, but it’s delicious. — 2 months ago

I tried this blind and guessed Canadian Merlot, lol. Either I suck or the wine does. I don’t mean any disrespect, it was good, it just didn’t taste how I would want my 10 year old 1er cru volnay to taste. It was ruby in colour, fruity, not many mineral notes, soft on acidity… just not what I would have expected this to taste like. — 3 months ago
