wood, and more dense flavors of berries. bit of a mustiness.

buy again.

Good juicy barbera. Good value.

4/29/2024 - umazz Likes this wine:

medium bodied, dry, very nice for a baby Barbaresco. More of this.

a little lacking in flavour.

Again, I find this wine to be a very good buy. For 15 bucks you won't find many medium bodied wines that are as nicely balanced and nuanced as this one.

Big fruit in an Italian style, which is the way I like it. Buy again.

11/8/2023 - umazz Likes this wine:

light, pretty good for a cheap bottle.

10/9/2023 - umazz Likes this wine:

Bright fruit, stone, sour, excellent depth of flavor on the lingering, dry finish. Not much barnyard or wet forest. Chewy.

too sour for my liking. Not how I expect a Chianti to drink.

nice light nebbiolo. nicely balanced.

4/22/2023 - umazz Likes this wine:

this is a very nice Chianti at this price point. Medium bodied, with all of the Chianti notes.

4/8/2023 - umazz Likes this wine:

definitely a step above the typical Oregon Pinot.

1/22/2023 - umazz Likes this wine:

Very tar-ish. good though.

1/13/2023 - umazz Likes this wine:

might have been a bit past its prime. Still very good though.

like a proper Burgundy

thought it was a bit too peppery for my taste.

a good buy, on the light side for a Nabbiolo.

7/23/2022 - umazz Likes this wine:

on the lighter side

Just ok. Notes of tar, but not much fruit.

9/12/2021 - umazz Likes this wine:

Excellent.

8/29/2021 - umazz Likes this wine:

Classic Chianti, bright fruit, some acidity, medium body, semi dry.

8/16/2021 - umazz Likes this wine:

some nice funk ...

5/16/2021 - umazz Likes this wine:

Surprisingly good for a cheap Barolo

In a lighter style, pretty good depth on the finish.

very light, short finish

12/6/2020 - umazz Likes this wine:

plum, black berry, licorice. enjoyable.

not worth the price.

4/2/2020 - umazz Likes this wine:

Not so much of the strawberry with a hint of acidity that you normally see in an Oregon Pinot, but rather more in the style of a CA Pinot, though not quite as over extracted. Darker berries, with a finish of tar. Surprising complexity. Not what I'm looking for in an Oregon Pinot but enjoyable nonetheless.

11/8/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

Nicely light, but not much going on.

11/3/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

This was actually a decent Amarone for the price. I'd buy it again. It's the equivalent of a good Ripasso.

10/14/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

really liked it this time. Big plum early, mellowed out with some air. Sour tar typical for Old Telegram. Perfect right now.

9/19/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

A very nice ripasso for the price. Big, fruity, sour, licorice.

9/10/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

very pedestrian for an Amarone.

8/25/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

Very light with tawny coloring. Nose of strawberries. Taste is of bright berry, underbrush, very much in the style of a premiere cru bourgogne.
To me, this is a high end Burgundy at half the price.

7/6/2019 - umazz Likes this wine:

Light, rust, bright cherry, wet earth. Very much in the style of a Burgundy.

somewhat underwhelming at this price point.

7/29/2018 - umazz Likes this wine:

Nice barnyard funk on the nose, with bright fruit. Anise upfront, with plum mid palate. Funk returns during the long finish. This is the style of
Burgundy that I prefer.

7/2/2018 - umazz Likes this wine:

Very slight effervescence. Otherwise, a very good bottle.

Very nice, light version of the typical Doon MSG's.
