ONUMello's Review:

Dark red fruit with a bit of alcohol on the nose; briar and smoke over top of red fruit on the palate. More tannic than the '07- from less bottle time? Different but still good; same score. (tasted both '07 & '08 on same night)

ONUMello's Review:

Wild berry nose with notes of leather and red licorice, and blueberry/floral notes on the palate/finish. Easy drinking with moderate acidity and low tannins.

ONUMello's Review:

Old world nose- 'stinky cheese'/barnyard. Notes of mushrooms hit the mouth first, followed by a slightly oaky midpalate, with a bit of cherry underneath it all. Supple with soft tannins. I must disagree with the importer's shelf-talker mentioning 'intense red berries'- it's much more old-world.

ONUMello's Review:

Cherry/vanilla nose, adding a bit of spice on the palate. A bit thin, but tannins are there- better than many other $6 bottles.

ONUMello's Review:

A little barnyard hits first on the nose, followed by some subtle dark berries. Dry and earthy, a bit of wood. Very old world. Light, with moderate tannins & a short-medium finish.

ONUMello's Review:

Bright cherries on the nose. Very smooth and light, predominantly cherries and red fruit with a hint of red licorice & herbs. Soft tannins and a bright finish.

ONUMello's Review:

The nose features strawberries but also has something else I can't quite place. This wine literally tastes, though, like nothing. It's neither sweet nor dry, not acidic or creamy, and has no quantifiable taste whatsoever.

ONUMello's Review:

Full nose of banana, mango and butterscotch, which continue on the palate and finish. Very ripe, and while viscous, it is not overly sweet, which adds to its appeal.

ONUMello's Review:

Nose of honey and mushy apples, the palate features green apple & lemon, with just a hint of minerality and a medium-length finish.

ONUMello's Review:

Somewhat tight nose, with toast & citrus. Dry and light, with subdued notes of citrus, floral, and vanilla. Good flavors, I just wish it was bolder. A little better warmer.
