7th July 2012 ‘Style Rossese’ Blind Tasting, Bajardo
Classico 2011 Meaty aromas, spritzy. Fresh fruit, good long length, chunky. 14/20
23rd June 2012 Dolceacqua
Classico 2011 Black red colour. Rubbery notes on the nose which reminds me of Bellet’s Folle Noir. Not a fruity style – mineral, gamey, firm tannins, fresh acidity, Meaty, black fruit – chewy style. Nice but a little clunky compared with some of the fresher zippy wines. 15/20
Superiore 2010 Black colour with hints of red. Slightly volatile on the nose. Quite a meaty style. Full bodied gamey tannins. Very good fresh fruit acidity – fresh acidic zippiness – but not a fruit driven style. 16/20
22nd May 2011 Blind Tasting Bordighera
Superiore 2009 Slightly reduced, rubbery on nose. On palate better. Good tannin, slightly stewed. Good acidity but altogether somewhat lacking in freshness. Meaty and gamey. 13.5%. 13/20
29th May 2010 Blind Tasting Dolceacqua
2009 Pale red. Ripe cherry fruit, hints of caramel. Residual sugar – rosehip syrup. Alcohol burn, fresh acidity. A little disjointed with a bitter finish. 12/20
