This is fantastic cannonau with depth and balance. Appears to now be hitting its near-term stride. Wish I had more....

Slightly disappointing pepper bomb. A little too much like an over-worked CdR and nowhere near the quality of the 2009. Still, I'm a fan of the producer and importer.

Unusual. Viscous. Lacks any substantial length and acidity, but has depth. Interesting, but don't expect to wow anyone with this.

Ready to go right now. Not a terribly long/intense finish, but a nice representation just the same.

Carried back from the winery to the US in 2007. Truly a remarkable bottle of wine at this stage, verging on too fruit forward, still very lively and balanced. Particularly good with a truffle topped pasta.

A CDR that's a little Gigondas. True on paper and true in the glass. Recommended for the QPR.
