Band Of Roses

Préférence Chigny-les-Roses 1er Cru Brut Champagne

Becoming one of my fav NV as of late. Balanced and pure with a mix of all things great Champagne has to offer. Deliciousness that will smoke almost anything at this price point. — 8 years ago

Cavallotto

Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Color of light and semi translucent burgundy with brown and light purple hue on the rim. Slow flowing dense legs. Plummy fragrance and cherry sweetness upon opening. After breathing, nose of this wine turns unique with cure meats, anise, roasted black pepper, plums, and baking soda. Taste of cure meat like prosciutto, balsamic vinegar, quite dried in the first sip, round but firm tannins, a touch of spice, with some fruity and sweet notes hidden on the 2nd wave. Aftertaste of roses, balsamic acidity, black tea, a bit spice, subtle alcohol, and medium finishing. This wine is one of the best in terms of providing meat flavors. It is light in this hot day, but fully structured. What a piece of work. — 9 years ago

Nice note

Gaja

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2001

2001 vintage. Medium garnet. Quite fresh fruit forward raspberry and red plums. Roses and heavy oil fumes. Touches of smoke and woody notes. On the palate, very smooth, silky. Medium bodied. Medium plus acidity, high tannins - very integrated and mouth puckering. Finish is edging to long - fruit forward and cherry liqueur notes. Very decent and drinking well. Would personally keep for another 5+ years before opening as this is still evolving nicely. Still lacks soul - a little too manufactured for my palate. — 10 years ago

Special Club Brut 1er Cru Champagne Blend

Great example of what a Champagne should be: balanced, yeast, pear, bitter almonds, and touch of minerality. — 8 years ago

Giovanni Rosso

Langhe Nebbiolo 2013

Proper neb here. Oak is no where to be found; all just gorgeous aromas of leather, truffle, roses, cherry, strawberry and orange zest. Lovely pucker of tannin to it too — 9 years ago

Vietti

Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Oh my heavens. I could wax poetic about Vietti all day. Violets and crushed purple roses jump out of the glass, followed by tart bramble fruits, high acid, and gripping tannins. Nebbiolos smell like the Deep South in summer: wisteria and hot asphalt. — 10 years ago
