| Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
PIZZELLA |
| Deep intense purple colour. Attractive, ripe blueberry-plum compote nose with some spicy, cherry-vanilla notes. Dry, medium bodied, slightly spicy, ripe plum-cherry flavours with a lingering, fairly crisp, somewhat cedary finish. Ready-to-drink. Screwcap closure. Better than the recommended 2009 (**) released on May 12, 2012 at $15.95. |

A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Bright full ruby. Aromas of dark fruits and bitter chocolate are complicated by smoky minerality and lifted by floral and spice notes. Fine-grained, generous and sweet; fuller-bodied than the Angel Paulucci offering but sound acidity gives it lovely life in the mouth. Finishes dense and long, with soft, even tannins and lingering notes of red and darker fruits. All of these new La Posta releases offer very good value. Score: 90 (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, March/April 2013) |
