Very floral for sure but not as sweet as I expected for a Muscat, which is great for pairing with a greater variety of food. Was a bit disappointed about how flat it tasted and its limited complexity. Tasted July 2013.

First time to try a Barbaresco and I was utterly impressed. It matched so well with food and also great to sip on its own. Medium body. Decant well before drinking. I opened the bottle 90 minutes before drinking. Tasted February & October 2015.

Delicious, rich (like honey in your mouth without being too sweet), full body. So smooth. A very safe bet for a party as a wine of this quality will please most people. Tasted May 2012.

Nice Cabernet-Sauvignon, but I would agree with another reviewer that it is still a bit young. However, it really benefited from a good hour of decanting. Felt medium-body upon opening and edged to full bodied after an hour of decanting. Tasted October 2012.
