This solid entry-level rosé offers a charming nose with notes of barberry candy, buttered croissant, and red apple, accompanied by a subtle hint of cider. Its pinpoint acidity complements an intense, slightly spicy palate. Flavorful and persistent, the wine concludes with a delightful Jerez touch in the finish.

This wine offers more complexity than one might initially expect. Made primarily from their oldest vines, this vintage presents depth and intricacy, all while maintaining a reasonable price as an entry-level wine.

Though still young, it captivates with a charming nose of black bread crust, a mix of black and red fruits, and withered rose petals. As it opens, an intriguing animalistic note with a hint of musk emerges. While the nose is somewhat subdued---perhaps a different glass might enhance it---the palate shines brightly. It's delicate yet well-structured, juicy with firm but finely integrated tannins. The long, delicious aftertaste lingers with notes of licorice root and red flowers.

Tasting this wine again in a short span confirms the same charming experience. Despite its approachability today, I still believe it would benefit from extended aging. Aromas of black rose, cacao, red and black fruits, briar, smoked meat, wood, and earth compose its complex and nuanced profile. It is nicely packed, with a relatively intense and concentrated character. While structured, it also remains delicate and juicy. There's a slight warmth, but the acidity adds to its complexity rather than detracting from it. It's a neat and impressive wine.

Tasting this wine again in such a short time confirms the same beautiful experience. It offers a perfumed and nuanced nose with delicate aromas of olives, dried herbs, black fruits, briar, and forest floor. A subtle funkiness from aging enhances the overall experience. On the palate, it is subtle, juicy, and delicious, with superb texture and acidity. This is a very charming and feminine wine. Simply beautiful.

Compared to the 2015 vintage, this wine is decidedly more masculine and perhaps even more old-school, reflecting the distinct approach of two winemakers---father and son. The father, with his no-rush mentality, matured the wines for a longer period.

The wine presents a captivating nose of tea, wet wood, bay leaf, pickles, dried herbs, and bitter herbs (hey, amaro), along with notes of raw spiced meat reminiscent of steak tartare. A beautiful layer of hibiscus tea adds to the complexity. The powerful tannins are well-matured and integrated, supported by excellent acidity and juiciness. It's a neat and impressive wine.

Served blind, this wine presented a guessing challenge. Nebbiolo crossed my mind, yet there were no definitive clues. It features a powerful and intense nose of black fruits, brânzǎ de oaie, and wet wood, alongside earthy and animal notes with a slightly natural edge. On the palate, it is powerful and nearly full-bodied, with high acidity. The tannins are not high but have a green quality, making the vintage hard to pinpoint. With time, it should improve, but today it remains a challenging drink.

Served blind, I also struggled to pinpoint this wine. It offers intriguing aromas of plum, sweet chocolate, tomato stems, wet asphalt, and night flowers, showcasing a certain charm. On the palate, it presents as warm and fruit-forward, yet the very green tannins and high acidity create an imbalance that makes it hard to fully enjoy at the moment. It's not a bad wine, just absurdly young, and may need time to evolve.

This wine was served blind and instantly captivated me. My initial guess was Piercarlo Culasso, but a slightly smoked note made me reconsider. The palate confirmed it wasn't Piercarlo Culasso, as it appeared more evolved and less feminine. Arpepe came to mind, but the vintage remained a mystery, given how fresh and young the 1999 Il Pettirosso was; it could range from the 1990s to 2017.

The perfumed nose is graced with beautiful notes of red fruits, chocolate, dried rose petals, spices, wood, and underbrush, with a hint of ya'an cha. It's very clean and beautifully developed, yet still feels so young. The wine is delicate and juicy, with firm tannins and impressive acidity, which, coupled with excellent fruit quality, makes it absurdly juicy and quaffable. It's complex, multilayered, long, and evolving. Truly beautiful stuff.
