Nov 2019....bought 3, will be returning 2.
Despite the many attributes credited to this wine by the experts it still had that California cheap wine taste to me. It was dry but not extra dry. Flavorful but still carried that sickly syrupy flavour I dont enjoy (similar to the distaste I have for Australian Shiraz these days). Was worth a try but wont try it again.
Update: finished bottle on 2 subsequent nights and was quite delicious....what happened?? Kept 2 I had and bought an extra one!!
Winter 2020....hostess gift to Shelley C.
Xmas 2020...gifted last 2 to Sue & Phil, Karen & Kevin

2022 + gift?
April 2023....a quality wine for sure but there was a grape in the mix which almost overpowered it with a flavour I wasn't super keen on. That said, with a aeration and the right meal (beef, steak etc...), this wine is quite satisfying. Not sure I can gift as not for everyone.

2021+2022+2023+2024 or gift
September 2021....cant remember meal but was likely salmon melts. Recollection is nice but not 'really good' as I had hoped for. Still, happy with the purchase and will look forward to the next one, say Spring 2022.
August 2022....same as above.

Dec/23....xmas gift for A&G + Norah
Jan/24....drank Norah's. I wasn't as happy with it as I was with the one Rose & Gino gave way back when. Tasted thin (lean?). Fruit was decent but not oustanding. Give the rest a little more time to see if improves...maybe better xmas 24?

Veneto, Italy$25.95

Oct 2020....had one right away, was hoping for more so hoping some bottle time will aid.
June 2021....enjoyed this bottle. Nothing extraordinary but a very pleasant quaff.
Aug 2024....with chicken. My impression remains the same as in June 2021....might have been last one??
