  More structured than I expected with restrained light berry fruit and floral notes. Nice refined tannic structure. Gives the sense that it will improve with a few years in the cellar. I've been really impressed with this wine over several vintages.

  Wow - I am rapidly becoming a big Birichino fan; This was not at all what I expected - old vine grenache that drinks like Italian Nebbiolo; Beautiful transparency; Great depth; Very long and clean; Bright with great interest; Excellent

  I liked this much better the second time. Better with a slight chill on it. Drinks more like Nebbiolo than Grenache.
