“Elegant and poised, the wine shows grapefruit, apricot, nougat and oatmeal nuances on the nose. The palate delivers excellent focus and linear mouthfeel, beautifully complemented by refined texture and bright acidity, finishing long and stylish.” - Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
Rich and complex, with pronounced aromas of ripe stone fruits such as peach and hint of sauteed butter, touch of spice like clove or nutmeg. The palate is medium bodied and creamy, with a smooth, luxurious texture that expresses a balanced acidity that lifts the rich fruit flavors and provides a fresh, vibrant character.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
