P: Med Body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) NICELY counterbalanced by acidity which morphs into a LONG, somewhat honied finish with a fairly distinct tang. GREAT QPR @ this vendor's $7.95, which TOTALLY *crushes* the one other U.S. source currently listed on wine-searcher. For sipping / lighter entrees into '19. Impressive for this style & price pt! 90 pts WA

P: Med body; RNDISH entry with ALMOST swtish oak/frt balanced by a TOUCH of astringency which somewhat resolves by the fairly LONG (albeit very slightly insipid) honied finish with a VERY slight bitterness. Decent for the PRICE, drink in '17 before the bitterness totally takes over. [This vendor's $7.95 TOTALLY *crushes* the one other U.S. source currently listed on wine-searcher.]

No 32, candied smell, peachy, 7 months lees, cement fermented. Higher altitude from north, castle Del monte. Medium acidity, dry, medium+ body, passionfruit. A hint of grape seed complexity. And a hint of grass.
