Reviews and Ratings

Julia Kelada rated this wine as 98/100 with the following review:

Let's be real.. This wine is expensive....but, this is an incredible wine. If you are a collector, or able to simply enjoy these types of wines from time to time, you will not be dissapointed!
The wine is a rich deeply intense colour, garnet red. Just the mere fact that it is from Sardinia makes me full of anticipation!
On the nose, black cherries,and wild blueberries. Herbal notes of thyme and a subtle hint of eucalyptus. Wood forest tones. By now I'm in serious need of my fist sup!
On the palate, the combination of the woody forest floor, with the herbal tones taking first place. The fruits come into play but everso mildly, just the cherries and a slight violet introduction,then a strong dark chocolate and followed with a punch of pepper. Leather comes into the show for a moment.Wow, this wine is a serious show stopper, it has wondrous dry long tannins but there is nothing brash south this wine, it has class and velvet etiquette from start to finish!

Bottoms up!
