My last bottle brought over from Argentina and what a bottle it is. My friend tasted blind and thought Pinot noir, or even an Austrian red because it is so fleshy and fresh. A paragon of the Zelig that Malbec can be in the right hands. Carmelo Patti is a godfather of Mendoza wines & is, as far I can tell, a one man Gang of Four so it’s all about natural winemaking here: opaque Ruby, fresh red raspberries & cherries, tree bark, & a subtle grip on the back end. Tannic structure leaves a light imprint. Some imported to the states, & so worth seeking out. — 7 days ago

Parcelas Originales Old Vines Glera 2021

Old vine Glera produced in Argentina, in Mendoza.. Still wine using the Prosecco varietal. Medium plus acidity, an overall yellow waxy fruit palate, but quite dry & very much a food wine. I kept on wanting it to loosen up more, but it didn’t- or can’t. Still, interesting on many levels though my taste buds aren’t begging to go back. Closest analogy is to a more uni dimensional Aligote. — 16 days ago

Brought back from a recent trip & my first Patagonian merlot. I won’t say it’s my last but wasn’t jiggy with it, though it paired well with a very savory & flavor packed dinner of Italian sausage, broccoli rabe, & Hungarian potatoes w caraway. No edges & quite sleek, concentrated red fruits but found it bland. Canalé is a renowned Patagonian producer. Since I drink solo Merlot rarely May just be the varietal. — 17 days ago

9.1

Interesting that when I had this a few years ago, it was much drier and a bit more uni dimensional. Now it is quite fleshy with a wonderful, thick texture and the residual sugar is more pronounced. This is old school full-bodied, mineral driven Kabinett with a cork enclosure. Delicious. — 7 days ago

9.1

It’s been ages since dipping into Montalcino. What a beautiful reminder of how generous these can be: transparent Ruby red, deceptively light frame, & strong aromatics of fresh picked cherries & menthol. Air & time tame the chunkier & rougher qualities, so a decent decant could really make it sing. Also some serious grip, though not the most layered or complex finish- after all, it’s a rosso. — 13 days ago

Newest encounter with this Ribera Sacra red. Tasted like a Loire in blind tasting especially given its funkiness, but it’s more complex & layered if you take your time & let it settle down. Blackberries, a bit of fermented apple cider, & wild raspberries- the tiny ones. I can drink this all day. — 17 days ago

Tasted blind & thought hi end Chinon, or some Cab Franc given its funk & superb tension between its acid & fruit; all kinds of forest bark & pinecones, dark red fruits, & a slight menthol edge. Develops too in the glass, & feels like the palate & aftertaste can go on forever. Though the lesser priced of its Tondonia sibling (& very different), this for me is one of the 8 great wonders-& values-of the wine world. — 13 days ago

9.3

Much more subtle than I anticipated & compared to Chidaine, Huet,etc. Probably a bit closed & can use a decant at this stage. All kinds of pulverized shells & a low key minerality, long & lean in terms of texture. No wool or wax here. White flowers, Asian pear, & I want to say raw yellow zucchini ( though I may regret that). All kinds of complexity to taste. A ‘contemplative’ rather than a race horse wine-& hope my homeboy will hang onto his others so we can taste what age will do. Opened during an exhilarating Knicks win. — 17 days ago

Tasted a few times now & consistent. Trocken style. Raw Fennel, apple skin, white flowers- marigolds & apples on the nose. A bit frizzante? At 15$ another Crazy Eddie deal. — 20 days ago
