Incredible wine! A bouquet of excellence with dark fruit, good acidity and well integrated tannins. Approachable, but i would definitely try another wine of a different vintage. A must try again. — a month ago
Deep ruby in color; cassis, black plums, and cedar on the nose; high acidity; medium plus tannins; tastes like blackberries, black cherries, and graphite with a long finish. Nellie says it's ok. I like it. — 3 months ago

Let her open up a bit. Rustic and medium bodied, earthy, just like a Umbria wine should taste — 3 months ago

A fairly ambitious Malbec blend with Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Petit Verdot, and Cabernet Franc. Dry on the palette with flavors of plum, blackberry, licorice, bitter tobacco, earth, coffee, with raisins and cherry Ludens on the finish. With each sip I can pick out every grape, if I try real hard. Quite tannic, and my 2nd glass will be in an hour or more, after it catches its breath.
A very enjoyable bargain!
