"A spicy, smoky wine with plum and pepper notes and vibrant food-friendly acidity."

"Awesome Belgian Triple!!!...The aroma was good, slightly sweet and fruity. The flavor is INTENSE, everything you expect out of a triple along with a bit of a hop spiciness...A must try for all you Belgian beer lovers out there."

"Starts out with some grain and hints of lemon that finishes with a very light spicy finish from the hops....This brew would go quite well by the pool or at a cookout.."

"More upfront fruit than its two 2006 brethren, and cedar-infused black currant flavors revealing a scorched earth note in the background. This opulent, fleshy 2006 has more in common with a 2007 than the general muscle-laden character of most 2006s. Stunningly rich and fruit-forward, it is low in acidity, but riper with sweeter tannins than its peers. Drink it now or cellar it for twenty years." Reviewed by Robert Parker.

"The 2008 Barolo Margheria opens with a sweet, inviting bouquet redolent of hard candy, flowers, mint and licorice. Deceptively medium in body, the Margheria packs quite a bit of punch, even if that isn’t totally obvious at the outset. Layers of dark fruit flow through to a powerful, incisive finish laced with dried flowers and spices. The Margheria is notable for its intensity and textural depth."

"..Strong earthy and smoke flavors are nicely balanced and well-supported by the base. Bitter chocolate and coffee round out the complex and multi-dimensional taste.."

"...Lemon and sweetness turn herbal, grassy, and bitter with a even fade to spicy white pepper, curracco, and lemon zest. Alcohol bitterness seems to amplify the moderate hop balance..."

"Bright violet color. Musky blueberry, cassis and lavender on the nose, with complicating mineral and white pepper nuances. Supple, sweet and smooth, with very good energy and lift to its dark fruit and spice flavors. Finishes with supple tannins and bright, tangy persistence."
