November 25, 2014 - Berry and plum notes, good structure, very enjoyable fruity red wine
April 22, 2014 - Still holding up. Nice flavors.
December 27, 2013 - Fruit forward, balanced wine with a sweetish (very dry, but not brut, to use champaign terminology) grape flavor. There's a natural yeast aroma which is very appealing. (I'm wondering whether it could be used to cultivate yeast for panettone.)
October 8, 2013 - Medium bodied, not very dry, and earthy, this wine goes very well with equally moderate (not too heavy or spicy, and not too light) Italian fare. As I have found with many Pulianesca wines made with some percentage of Negro Maro grapes, it gets better and better as it sits. I'm keeping an opened bottle in the fridge for deglazing because it makes lovely sauces.
May 25, 2013 - Smooth and some good dark fruit. Good for the price.
March 30, 2013 - Such an excellent wine for the price. Tight upon opening. Fruit is a little buried until it opens up. Better second day. Great soil/gravel flavor in balance with structure and alcohol.
March 6, 2013 - Very good everyday wine
January 28, 2013 - Everything was well integrated. Rich, smooth, mellow and velvety deep but short finish Needs a bit of breathing space, more so the second day than the first.
Was still a great pairing with garlicky, beefy, cheesy lasagna as well as w cheese & sausage, as well as just an aperitif.
I echo the sad sentiments that this was my last bottle.
September 24, 2011 - Still a great table wine.
September 21, 2011 - Superbe aubaine obtenu en Nouvelle-Écosse : rubis foncé avec des arômes frais et fruité qui rappelle la jeune vigne (c-à-d. un peu mal défini, fruité intense mais légèrement végétal qui devient rapidement rustique et vaporeux à 18*C). Lorsque le vin est rafraichit (16*C) le vin déploie ses origines avec plus de vigueur. L'attaque est moyennement corsée, fraiche avec des tanins souples et un brun végétaux. Corps souple et fruité, axé sur le fruit, à la texture légèrement charnue qui rappelle le primitivo et une finale amère légèrement torréfiée du negroamaro. Le peu de cabernet sauvignon apporte du "volume" et un peu de fraîcheur au vin. Tout simplement excellent pour le prix en Atlantique.
