| | Tasted by ArtF on 2/13/2018 & rated 93 points: Deep crystalline ruby color. Expressive nose of sweet cherry lifts from glass upon opening. Palate is smooth, vibrant cherry, almost candied, young Burgundy-like mocha, hint of licorice, smooth acidity. Some drying tannins after 30 minutes. Seems at peak. (1124 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 9/3/2017 & rated 91 points: Coravin bottle from 2 months ago. I think it gets a little air and improves short term. (1127 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 6/17/2017 & rated 93 points: Much better bottle than 3 months ago. Crystalline ruby color. Bright red fruits on nose and palate. Smooth acidity, no tannins, very balanced. Light to medium bodied. Perfect with antipasto or pasta with a fresh tomato sauce. (1244 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 5/19/2017 & rated 91 points: Deep ruby with pink rim. Less fruit and acid than prior bottles. A bit of drying tannins for complexity as soon as poured. Well balanced. Can last but probably won't in my cellar. (1190 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 3/24/2017 & rated 86 points: Medium deep ruby with pink glints. More acid than tannin. Slippery legs on glass and mouth. Not much better than young CdR. Seems shut down. Update: decanted overnight. Much better. Smooth, balanced light bodied red, refreshing acidity, sour cherry, drying tannins. Can last I think 4-5 years more, easily. (1228 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 2/3/2017 & rated 88 points: Deeper red than previous bottles. Still juicy. Acidity and bright fruit made this bottle sweet-sour. Drying tannins as soon as poured makes me think it will be better balanced 4-6 months when the fruit subsides. (674 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 1/18/2017 & rated 91 points: Ruby with glints of lipstick red. Drying tannins after 60 minutes. Seemed similar to a medium bodied Beaujolais cru. (627 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 12/25/2016 & rated 86 points: Fruit has faded. Not sure if off bottle or closed or past prime. (582 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 7/21/2016 & rated 90 points: Crystalline red shaded to pink at rim. Some fine sediment noticeable in bottle. Drinking well with pretty candy apple fruit balanced with drying tannins. (756 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 4/18/2016 & rated 90 points: Better after being opened 60 minutes for all components to settle down and integrate on palate. (847 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 4/16/2016 & rated 92 points: Garnet/purple in glass. Juicy black grapes on palate makes this a great quaff, but far from rustic, with minerals, mellow acidity, and earthy, dusty tannins. Medium finish. Best at cellar temp. Transformed a simple cold antipasto with crusty bread from an appetizer into a prologue. Has balance and complexity to last several more years. (771 views) |
| | Tasted by ArtF on 4/11/2016 & rated 91 points: Deep ruby with purple glints. Palate of juicy dark grapes first 60 minutes. Drying tannins, earthy, minerals, very balanced after fruit faded. (788 views) |
| | Tasted by Bandreas on 4/9/2016: Dark red color, earthy nose and taste.
A Dolcetto of the old school.
Not a very elegant wine but it went well with the hearty food in the "Kornkeller " restaurant in Berne (959 views) |
| | Tasted by victoria_isabelle on 4/23/2015 & rated 88 points: 2: Dekantert i halvannen tine. Noe mindre utpreget fruktighet, men mer avslepne tanninner. Fortsatt godt med jordbær og moreller, men noe mindre syrefriskhet. Burde kunne fungere fint til lettere retter!
1: Fin lengde og struktur, dyp rød. Moreller og røde bær i munn, fin lengde. Noe spisse tanninner innledningsvis, bør dekanteres lengre neste gang. (965 views) |
