Tiny, tight mousse, quite dry, really lovely balance and complexity, long, lingering finish, excellent!! — 7 days ago
Initially this was incredibly closed, but after 2 hours in the decanter it’s starting to open, tannic, very structured, very 1986 in its leanness, but incredible depth and length, not perfect, but still outstanding!! — 10 hours ago
Dark purple color, faint oak note up front, rich and ripe red berry fruit, nice balance and depth, only nit is highish ABV (15%), but it barely shows, wonderful Seguret!! — 3 days ago
Amazingly youthful still, great acidity, just a tad of sweetness, very long finish, the depth and complexity is simply amazing, this wine is honestly still a baby, J.J.Prum produces fantastic wines!! — 7 days ago
56% Vermentino, 44% Fiano, this property is in Australia’s Riverland area (Murray River) a few hours east of Barossa, super crisp, fresh, lively, and enticing, very nice acidity, Vermentino really showing out, but Fiano seems to provide depth and complexity, honestly a heck of a sub-$13 Australian wine here on the Left Coast!! — 8 days ago
I bought and drank a fair amount of Allegrini Palazzo Della Torre back in the late 1990s, and always enjoyed them. First time in the past 20 years, this seems a little softer and polished, a little lower ABV (13.5 vs. 14+ in earlier vintages), this is vinified using conventional fermentation as well as some ripasso fermentation (think Amarone drying grapes on straw mats), and has some very nice complexity and length, very nice!! — 2 days ago

Shows a little bit of funky, faint Brett aromas, flavors are rich, dark-fruited, and more youthful than the ‘86 Mouton which we also opened, long, lingering finish, very fine!! — 10 hours ago
