My firs Masi Oreo, it was full bodied and medium tannins. I found it well balance with the fruit but also well aged. I recommend for a restaurant buy and will try again.

A medium body wine. You can identify remaines of tannins in the background which now is no longer dominant. Cherries transformed into a more complex palett and soft mature wine. Perfect for light dishes with pork, pasta etc.

This is a very big wine with a grip of tannins at the finish. It is a bit over extracted but that is the nature of this wine. Not my kind of taste profile. I will wait a few years to see how it fleshes out.

In de neus pruim, leer, tabak. In de mond mooi vol kersig. Een heerlijk glas vol van het mooie Italiaanse leven. Fijn strak zuurtje achterin de mond. Ik mis wel een rafelig randje, het is wat gladjes.

Hard to hate wine but also hard to love. I liked it but the wine is definitely the style of wine built to appeal to the crowd. This wine does not fail in that regard despite an unbalanced tannin and fruit on the palette. Short finish.

Quite deep and dark black cherry color with only a little translucency. Sweet, extracted and stylistically very new world-ish nose with almost cloying aromas of jammy boysenberries, overripe blackberries, cherry marmalade, some toasty oak spice and a hint of mocha. The wine is dense, medium-bodied and quite structured on the palate with ripe yet surprisingly tough primary fruit flavors of boysenberries, borderline overripe blackberries, some sweet black cherries, a little bit of tobacco and a hint of sweet, brooding oak spice. Both the high acidity and firm, grippy tannins contribute to the structure noticeably. The finish feels quite hot and somewhat sweet with jammy dark berries, some cherry marmalade and a hint of toasty oak spice. The tannins lend a noticeably grippy, mouthdrying touch to the aftertaste.
Ehh, nope. The wine is impressively structured all right, but the jammy, borderline overripe and too new-world-ish aromas and flavors make the wine taste just too much of a crowdpleaser to my taste. The tightly-knit structure might help the wine to survive and develop in a cellar, so it is possible that with enough age this might turn out to be an impressive wine. However, based on how it tastes like now, I really wouldn't like to gamble. Priced according to its quality at 19,90€, but it just feels like this wine wasn't made to suit my taste.

Nice cedar, cherries, spices and tobacco notes. Good strong tannins well balanced with refreshing acidity. Medium-long finish. Potential to improve over a few years.

Tasted at a Kobrand event in NYC. This wine is a dark garnet color with a good bit of texture and an attractive though not effusive nose. The palate has plum, sweet cherry, strawberry, chocolate, blackberry, licorice and some baking spice with bright acidity but fairly sharp but not too grippy tannins. I think this will improve with a few more years in bottle and seems like a pretty good QPR to me. Probably will rate a couple points higher in time.

The Anchor, Ripley for wife's birthday dinner with the family. Dark, good body with classic and concentrated Valpol style fruit displaying some bitter cherry character and savoury spice. Touch of youthful alcohol heat and firm core acidity. 2 bottles enjoyed by all but undoubtedly would benefit from another year or two in bottle and possibly hit the excellent 90pt level. 88+?+

14% alcohol, 2 g/l residual sugar, 5,7 g/l acidity. Tasted blind in VV.

Nice Veronese IGT. Drinkable; wouldn’t go out of my way to have it again, however.
