3/14/2010 - wineshaman wrote: 89 pointsPopped and poured, drank at our favorite italian eatery, didn't show well when first opened sharp and bitter. After 30min opened up quite nicely to show jammy foward red fruit some earthand was very smooth. Paired nicely with broccoletti, canonelli beans, polenta and med. rare sliced duck breast. |

4/17/2021 - wineshaman wrote: 88 pointsIncredibly fruit forward, so quaffable very good bistro quality vino, full of tart cherry, strawberry, raspberry, a bit of spice adds much needed complexity. I don’t as a rule score wine based on QPR but if I did i would give this a 92!!!! purchased at TJ’s for less than 6.00 USD. |
