Spicy, peppery, violets on the nose. Similar taste & nice fruit. Well balanced. Was on clearance, and sold out when I went back for more. Will buy again if I can ever find it again.

- Aromas of black pepper and fig. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of orange blossom with a light/medium body. Smooth texture with a medium finish - Great with red sauce. Sweet but not cheap. Basic without sacrificing quality. Nice drink.

Good on opening, but much better the following couple of days. I wish I had more of this but I could only find one bottle on a shelf. Don't know what the other ratings are based on but if you don't give this one several hours to breathe you are missing the boat. I agree with A. Galloni of Wine Advocate on this one.

Empson Barolo & Brunello Tour (Dallas): Great nose, bright fruit. Great body, acidity, decent tannin. Drinking well now. **
