Top notch Barolo. Perfect balance between tertiary flavors of mushroom and leather, woven seamlessly with typical dark cherry notes and a bit of tangy brightness. Tannins still there, but integrated. For me, a perfect spot to drink now. — a month ago

On day one, a bracingly crisp Grüner. On day 3, another world opens up with balanced lemon pith and a bit of richer curd, salinity, and limestone. Lovely, just give it some time. — 2 months ago

2020 is slightly woody. Nice and rich, but not on our short list. — a month ago

Tart raspberries, green pear, and white peach… but not as rich as one might think with the high acidity. Almost effervescent on open. Would work with any high-fat food — 2 months ago

Delicious structured ‘16 Barbaresco that can be enjoyed early. There’s a creaminess that balances the sour cherry and anise tannins. Bravo! — 2 months ago

Lovely and accessible 2015 Barolo. More ripe red fruit, even some apple…. but the typical Nebbiolo notes remain prevalent. You could let this sit for 5 more years, but it’s really good now with some air. — 2 months ago

Sappy blueberries, black cherries, and limestone, almost effervescent, with plenty of balancing acidity, but also some initial funkiness (light Brett) which dissipates slightly. I can see why Freisa is often a blending grape, but in the hands of a great producer, it’s a solid standalone effort. — 2 months ago
