12/2/2023 - djt1956 Does not like this wine: 86 pointsSeriously, not my style. Big fruit, big (extreme) alcohol, to big to compliment anything that you'd want to pair it with, this will overwhelm anything. Last one, never again. |

11/12/2023 - djt1956 Likes this wine: 93 pointsThere hasn't been a note on this bottling in a while. For all you out there that still have a bottle or two in your cellar this bottling remains vibrant. Of course, the cork will crumble, but at almost 30 years the wine remains balanced, with raisins, strawberry and oak as the prominate notes. If you have well maintained bottles of this wine, don't discount them, you are in for a treat. |

12/1/2021 - djt1956 wrote: 90 pointsLet me first start off by saying, I love, love this producer. My favorite. But I am a bit disappointed in this 19 Rosso. The quality is certainly there but comparing the 18 Rosso to the 19, I find this version "bigger". I wouldn't say more extracted, but heaver, missing the acidity, the crispness, lightness, the pure joy of the 18 Rosso. The alcohol is also higher in this 19, much higher. Which leads me to believe this 19 Rosso is a product of the vintage and hopefully not a stylistic change. 1/12 |

10/8/2015 - djt1956 wrote: 90 pointsThe wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like almond and red currant. It tastes like cranberry and black currant (cassis). The body is light/medium. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has medium acidity. |

11/6/2014 - djt1956 wrote: 88 pointsBeautiful nose of plum, blueberries and yes, a hint of ginger! (Wife says Dampson.) Body is light on the palate with low acidity. I would not consider this a “food” wine. The wine did increase in complexity and put on weight the longer in the glass. My remaining bottles I will decant. The wine is ok, but not the houses’ style. |

12/13/2013 - djt1956 Likes this wine: NRSo refreshing and balanced. Currants rather than heavy fruit. Definitely winter berries .... but not heavy. Medium weight. Some lead pencil as you would expect ... but overall a lovely balanced wine. Great with our roast chicken tonight. Excellent QPR. We will be buying more! |
