PAOLUCCI
Amaro Ciociaro

The vibrant, bittersweet bouquet is citrusy; herbal, floral and earthy. The palate entry is bittersweet, intensely herbal and earthy but refreshingly orange citrusy; the tasty midpalate is marked by heightened sweetness and a more mineral-like core flavor.
Finish is savory and bittersweet.

SUPERB (90-95) / HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

PAOLUCCI
Amaro Ciociaro

We thought we recognized orange peel and licorice, and liked this one as much as amaroi costing $10 more. "Not too much length on the finish--which might be a good thing," said Robert. Cocktail-hour alert:We tried this one on the rocks, with soda, and it was tasty.

Sambuca


The nosing passes find scents of aniseed and licorice with additional aromas of lead pencil and linseed oil. The palate entry is correctly licorice-like and syrupy; at mid-palate the sweetness accelerates and accentuates the aniseed and waxy texture. Finishes long, mildly bittersweet and even a touch quinine-like.

SUPERB (85-89) / RECOMMENDED

NANDO AMARONE 2000
Deep and eminently attractive. with huge aromas of raisin, fudge, prune and fruitcake. As broad and smooth goes, this is it. The feel is velvety, the depth coming in several layers. Elegant, forceful and a bit hedonistic.
Wine Enthusiast Editors' Choice
November '05


Full bodied with aromas and flavors of currant, orange peel, and prune;
Long rich finish. Beef stew.

NANDO Asti is frothy, sweet but not cloying, bright with orange blossom and honeysuckle overtones to candy-like fruit.   Don't try to find complexity here. This is a festive wine that demands to be judged on its own intrinsic merits; a fabulous picnic wine. Rated not on complexity but on how well it captures the essence of Asti Spumante.

NANDO Asti
Almost ovderly floral and sweet, with the palate showing an overdose of heavy citrus fruit. Finishes expectedly sweet, with a good mouthfeel. Attacks forcefully.

NANDO Chianti Classico 2002
Dried cherry, leather, tomato and spice make for a common, recognizable bouquet,
while the palate offers fresh plum and raspberry with shadings of cedar and vanilla.

NANDO Chianti Classico 2000
Powerful and serious, with condensed aromas of cassis and spice. This wine features a racy, lithe feel that's fostered by puckering acidity and lively but not over-aggressive tannins.
The mouth deals a mixed bag of sweet, snappy fruit, and fortunately very little in the
way of intrusive characteristics.

NANDO Barolo 1998
Tarry and pruny, with meaty, leathery accents, this is a big-boned, firmly structured wine.
Turns spicy and shows its alcohol a little on the tannic finish. Drink now - 2010.
April 2004
