the small print under the forms make me smile..  very well done..

Trina got vanilla and pineapple on the nose. Very light straw color. Elegant.. Nice oak and long acids.. On second thought... really a nice balance of fruit, oak, and acid.. Worth the price if you are looking for elegance and more...

Scavino is especially famous for their Barolo "Bric del Fiasc". Its huge, ruby, rich, opulent.. This wine on the other hand is ruby but young and tight. Barely a nose that only managed to give up some leather and game. more...
