Ruby red in the glass. Red fruit on the nose. Palate is dominated by raspberry, smooth tannins, a little saddle sweat. Short finish, worked well with food (chile and corn bread). OK wine for everyday meal accompaniment.

I'm not impressed with this bottle. It drinks well and there's nothing seriously wrong with it, but a 91? Not in my book. Needs 45 to 60 minutes to open. Goes well with meat/3 cheese lasagna but it feels there something missing.

(Seghesio Barbera) #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-very dark; NOSE-very tight; a little pastry/Cream Puff action; TASTE-bold; heavy dose of vanilla coming through; purple paint; interesting blend of Old & New World; great texture, body & richness; it's got classic Italian flavors; nice bell pepper on the mid-palate; hint of Mojito on the end; a dark wine; dark chocolate action; some floral action (rose petal); gets very creamy & cedary on the finish; does both Old & New well, but neither exceptionally; solid; ST-91; GV-85
