2014 Passopisciaro Contrada Guardiola 750Ml Bottle

"Incredibly fragrant, this presents an alluring bouquet of dark-skinned berry, cake spice, blue flower, underbrush, crushed rock, exotic spice, spirit-soaked berry and balsamic notes. A combination of finesse and strength, it doles out juicy raspberry, Marasca cherry, licorice and baking spice alongside rounded, velvety tannins that give a smooth texture. It's a compelling wine. Drink through 2029." 97pts - Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

"This is bold wine, but it seems to handle its alcohol.
Cherry, raspberry, dried herbs, meat and sausage. Plenty of stuffing, firm clear acidity and lots of tannin, and despite its scale, some finesse in amongst the size. Finishes a bit warm, but a very good wine." 93pts - Gary Walsh, Wine Front
