Black cherries, blackberries, lots of spices. A lot of influence of oak; so its pretty mellow by Lagrein standards. Full bodied, rounded with nice tannins that are smoothed out from the oak. Good with steak and mushrooms.

Non mi ha entusiasmato: legno un po' eccessivo, frutto un po' spento, vino un po' dozzinale. Molto molto lontano dal "fratello maggiore" Riserva Castel Ringberg, che è decisamente di altra stoffa.

Brief note from memory. What stuck out the most was the balance and freshness of the wine. The first whiff gives it away as Italian. Some youthful dark fruit, savory flavors like cocoa, smooth without being glossy, and well-resolved tannins. Simply tasty with Pizzeria Mozza fare and great QPR.

A pleasant Italian wine with refreshing acidity paired with delicious cherry and plum flavors.

Deep ruby color. Nose of sweet blackberry and tart spice. Medium bodied on the palate with some bittersweet notes on the back end.

Very nice Lagrein. Lots of floral, fruity notes, plus a hint of chocolate. No reason to cellar - delicious now.
