talbot61 Does not like this wine: 78 points
May 26, 2021 - The Italophile wife, expecting something robust and warm, found something lean and acidic, and did not like it one bit. I was also surprised, but more curious, and so tried it again the next day. Then I found that some dark fruitiness had emerged, but mostly concealed behind a wall of sourness. I confess I don't understand what the aim was, nor what the longer-term prospects might be, but I can report confidently that the experience of drinking this wine now will be pleasure-free.
