Delicious, vibrant, complex and juicy. Dettori tends to show some bottle variation, this was a good one.

Really interesting. Deep, brooding, dusty, spicy, black fruits.

Eh. Thought this would be the ticket for tomatoes, seafood and caramelized fennel. Nope. More or less typical grenache nose with all the peppery violet black fruit, but then the palate's this sweet, fat, no acid blimp. Some spicy heat would tame that, maybe, but it'd take fairy gnarly puttanesca or something to do so. Some more cellar time probably wouldn't hurt either, as this is pretty primary right now. Other wines from the same producer have been good (thankfully, because I have a cellar full of their stuff), so I hope this one's just having an off night or my palate's hosed.

Dark ruby. Rose petal, violets, vaguely brambly, but much less than Zin or other varieties. Off dry palate with ripe fruit and continued floral notes. Paired with a homemade puttanesca sauce with plenty of olives and anchovy.

Every bottle I've had of this has been different, but all good. This one is very southern in feel, with a touch of RS.

Vibrant and juicy upfront with loads of fruit and spice. Soft and luxurious in the mouth without any tannic bite yet fresh with acid. Our last bottle and what treat!

Silky texture. Ripe red fruit. Pleasant.

2006, Tenute Dettori, Renosu , Romangia IGT, Cannonnau, Sardinia. 2nd bottle and better than the first. This had more fruit and not as much funkiness. I think the first bottle was corked.
