  November 27, 2020 - Deep ruby. Fresh and robust on the nose. Plenty of red fruit, raspberry and red current. Elegant. Tannins in evidence but well balanced. Medium finish. Recommend.

  April 25, 2020 - Quite fruity, but there's some earth there. Fresh and grippy. Pleasant, but a bit boring. Wouldn't go again

  December 6, 2019 - Med rätt maträtt är detta riktigt bra. En röra av sötpotatis, persilja och grillad paprika gör gott. Kommer hålla minst 2 år till och kommer sannolikt att fortsätta utvecklas.

  December 1, 2019 - Dark reddish-purple in color bordering on opaque. Full, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of cherries & blueberries with overtones of earthy/dusty & floral notes, some dried herbs & minerals. Medium bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe fruit flavors of cherries & blueberries with herbs & minerals. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present although it will develop further with a year or two of additional aging.

  November 30, 2019 - Winebar [4 Whites, 8 Reds, & 7 *shared* bottles] from 11/29/19 (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): “From vyds situated in the area of Serralunga d’Alba, altitude 330 m, with soils of mixed consistency (tending towards lime), & vines ave from 20-25 yrs old.” Typically, “Temp- controlled (81-84°F) fermentation & maceration in s/s lasting an ave period of 7-9 days. This is followed by malolactic fermentation & a short period of maturing in s/s. The wine is released for sale after approximately 4 mos in the bottle.”
  
  N: Choc covered raisins, poss prunes; Intensity lurking?
  
  P: Med body; RNDISH entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt met by an astringent pucker which quickly resolves by the LONG, balanced, POSS very, VERY slightly bitterish finish with a TANGY/swtness (65:35) to the few, fairly unoffensive, firming, very, VERY fine tannins. For now with food, & through '22. My VG+/EXC-; 89 pts Suckling. [This vendor's $17.95 is ≈$1 < wine-searcher's lowest.]
  
  Note: Likely from the same bottle as Vinnut, 12/1/19.
