I for the first time got leather, tobacco from this bottle. I have heard that in descriptions before but never tasted this bottle has those flavors in a big way. this would be a bottle to have to check your senses. I also learned Tobacco and leather is not my thing. |

1/6/2015 - BigSchmove Does not like this wine: NRI really hope I had a bad bottle. (it was not corked) but this may have been my worst wine experience in years. Including bar happy hour. After two sips (to be sure) dumped the rest. |

12/22/2011 - BigSchmove wrote: 88 pointsthe bad news is I had a wonderful Amarone before this one. This was a very nice wine but pale in comparison. The best thing about this wine was the finish. It had very nice body not much of a nose. Bottom line is for the money I'd go another direction. Just being honest... |
