  Floral and woodsy nose. Lovely color. Well balanced tannins and acid. Big fruit flavor. Long lasting finish. Complex wine that beautifully evolves over time. Let it linger on your tongue to experience the magic.

  One of my favorite wines of the last year, better than some aged top Bordeaux. Very bright fruit for an Old World, but not a fruit bomb. Balanced acidity and tannins, with a long finish and just a touch of grittiness that says Old World. Enjoyable without food, unlike most Italians (wine, I mean). Paired well with steak too. Wish I had a case of this!!

  I loved this. Fairly complex, seems like it will be sweet for a fraction of a second and then isn’t. Long finish, bold tannins.

  PnP. Nice nose with scent of flower and candy. The palate is refined red fruit and it offers some complexity. Long finishing. Best 2 hours after opening

  My Fair Verona (Prince Sydney, 40 Hansard Street): A touch oxidised, meaty, savoury, it's a very savoury nose; touch of yeast extract and plenty of alcohol prickle pepperiness. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity is probably an oral illusion created by the alcohol levels, plenty of woody tannins, muted red cherry fruit. Woof.
