(July 3, 2015) ... If you've made it here you've either come from the night of attrocious wines or you're a Banfi / La Lus fan ... La Lus is a fav of mine, I just love what Banfi does with this Albarossa and so far it seems to be aging quite well. I opened this as a last ditch effort to get on my buddy Larry's good side (see Six on the Deck). The aromas are what should lure you into this wine: black cherry, cassis, black raspberry, and licorice; the palate is what keeps you coming back for more: nice silky dark fruit, touched by red berries, licorice, with a mocha-cherry finish.
