Wine Reviews

Heat and spice leap off the nose of this wine. Aromas of grilled meat, smoke, soil and leaves are followed by fresh cherries and raspberries. Deeper notes of mixed berries on the palate accompany raw meat, iron-rich soil, dark chocolate and spices. Firm tannins and lots of acid make for satisfying drinking now but also leave room to grow.

Structured and focused with dark berries, dark cherries, dried herbs, bark and some cloves. Medium to full body with fine, firm tannins. Serious, layered and a bitter chocolate-like, funnelled finish with excellent length. Best after 2024.

An elegant, medium- to full-bodied red, with a dark mix of black currant and black plum fruit flavors that are fresh and focused. Features fine details of star anise, espresso, iron, violet and smoke that are a fragrant skein winding through the fruit, with sculpted tannins firming the finish. Carignano, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Aromas of blackberries, blueberries, porcini, baking spices, rosemary and dried flowers. It’s full-bodied with firm tannins. Tight and compact on the palate with good structure and lively acidity. Firm finish.

Ripe berry fruit, spicy, lush, dense with notes of chocolate and toasted with spice and balance, long and charming.
