Sapeva di tappo. È già la seconda volta che mi capita con questo vino, la prima era ad un Ristorante di Firenze. L'unica volta che l'ho bevuto "sano" mi è molto piaciuto. Mi riesce difficile pensare che due volte su tre non sia una media... Visto che nel sito dell'azienda lo indicano come adatto a lungo invecchiamento, evidentemente dovranno investire un po' di più sui sugheri... Questo in fondo aveva solo sette anni, e il tappo è venuto via senza sforzo, indice sicuro che il vino si era ossidato. Peccato.

Légèrement tuilé. Très beau nez sur les prunes, cerises noires, tabac. Les fruits mûres persistent en bouche, les tannins sont fondus, faible acidité, belle longueur. Belle complexité, belle évolution, un peu compoté mais très peu. prêt à boire.. De fait se boit tout seul. RQP imbattable.

Old Standby. This is a great vintage for this classic. Soft but solid foundation. Licorice, black olive, herbs, forest floor and black truffle. The aromatics suggest the best Amaro, both on the nose, and on the complex finish.

Visuel: Rubis tirant vers le brunâtre au pourtour légèrement orangé. Olfactif: Beau nez de petits fruits rouges (framboise, cerise), de chêne, ainsi qu'une note balsamique. (Aucune note animale à l'ouverture comme c'était le cas avec le 2008). Gustatif: Bouche vineuse et concentré. On y retrouve en gros les mêmes arômes qu'au nez. Le boisé est parfaitement dosé, bonne acidité. Finale de longueur moyenne légèrement asséchante. Excellent rapport Q/P.

Nose of cherry and mint with some forest aromas. Dry on the initial palate, but mellows through the finish. Good flavors of red cherry, some eucalyptus and other herbal notes. Overall good wine for the price.

Blend of 80% Negromaro and 20% Malvasia Nera. Plum, cherry and slight prune aromas from the cork. Medium nose with cherry, black fruits, graphite and pronounced horse/barnyard as it warmed up in the glass. Medium+ bodied with smooth palate and red cherry, earth and spice notes. Has fresh acidity along with jucy, crunchy and firm tannins. Smooth, medium-long finish with hints of cocoa. Could be aged another 1-2 years, but drinking great now. Delicious. Score: 89+ pts

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are fast. The body is light/medium. The wine finishes short. Annis and flint. Very thin mouth feel. Sorta light like a Pinot Noir. We drank the whole bottle.

Pale, ruby/garnet colour. Aromatic and complex with red berry, citrus rind, withered roses and sweet nut on the nose. Flavourful and supple, ripe and lengthy finish. A gem at $15 4/5

Figues tabac cuir, long en bouche. Plus aucun fruit. Un peu trop vieux, quand même agréable

Very good quality to price ratio. Tasted almost like a mix between an Amarone and a Barolo. Full bodied, slightly raisiny.

red fruit, meaty nose, palate has great depth, and makes you salivate, balance & length are great.

A lot of flavours, fine tannins, but what really comes out is a savouriness that was perfect with pasta puttanesca. Well built and food friendly wine.
