Delicious Priorat. At its peak imho... balance of spine and softness and fruit and secondary notes. Held up over 2 days (argon overnight). My last bottle :-( Love Mas d’en Gil :-) #ClosFonta — 15 days ago

2012 Del Dotto The Beast. A special occasion purchase having tasted it in barrel. A reminder of how far my palate has evolved away from high alcohol heavily oaked Napa red. Still nice, but the 15.8% and sweet oak dominates. All the complexities of the various sites (the whole concept of this wine) is lost imho. I want more earth, mineral, and acidity to remain. — 2 months ago

Giuseppe Cortese 2006 Barbaresco Rabaja... tiniest bit of bricking at the edge. Tons of spine still left here. Drying in mouth. But very good cherry and tarry notes with good minerality. Could’ve perhaps sat a few more years but better to open it early...great value. — 20 days ago

#Valgiano Colline Lucchesi 2006. Incredible and still going strong on day 2. On day one there was great funk on the nose right away and beautiful cherry and dark fruit flavors. Day 2 no funk but the fruit flavors persist. Open them if you got them ! — 7 months ago

Socre Roncaglie Barbareso 2007. Delicious now but could still age a bit. Some tannin and acid drying the mouth but plenty classic Nebbiolo to love here. A food wine for sure. Good stuff! — 7 months ago

1997 #LaSpinetta Vürsü Vigneto Gallina. Long cork showing signs of seepage. Plenty of spine but soft enough to really enjoy. Classic fruit and mineral and nose opened up over the first hour. Lush, lovely Barbaresco paired with @acquerellosf xmas takeout! — a month ago

Looking forward to opening my last bottle of this special bottling with #drinksatantonios later this morning California time. A different style Nebbiolo, a touch frizzante if I remember correctly... more “breakfast wine” style ;-) — 8 months ago
