Ghemme Collis Bredemae 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. No formal notes. As others have stated in previous TN’s, this is simply too young. The fruit is gorgeous and the winemaking is very good however, I find it to be too primary for my liking. Even after a few days, it was unwilling to develop. It’s balanced with sufficient structure to age well…and I suspect quite gracefully. I swooped up a couple of bottles and I’ll plan to forget about my remaining bottle for at least a decade. Better after 2026 and probably best after 2031. — 5 months ago

Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2019

Wowza! A big nose of tar & blood oranges. Both day 1 and 2. A minimally f’d with Nebbiolo from a cooler site, put into large Slovenian oak. Not forever, but enough. No wood apparent. But it’s luscious, just short of full. ( There have been Baroli pass these lips that were not up to this). A hidden gem. — 7 months ago

Very aromatic. Quite balance and silky. Floral and a good fruit. Very nice. Tannin still very grippy and drank too early — 3 years ago

Ghemme Nebbiolo 1980

Rewind almost 40 years. This wine is still strong. The structure is fading but the palate is there. Secondary notes but oh so layered. Not a great year in Piemonte but this showed up. — 5 years ago

Sizzano Nebbiolo Blend 2016

Great vintage, soulful rendition of Nebbiolo, but just know it’s more like a 3 minute Stax records hit, rather than a long play jam of, say, Les Mcann Compared To What. Still, for20$, I’d choose it most days of the week. Some of that burnished leather furniture & forest floor is coming through the Nebbiolo, & so it’s more black fruited & evocative than peppy. Just know it’s a shorter finish. — 8 months ago

"El Picaro" Toro Tempranillo 2021

Cor escura e corpo denso. Possui sensação bastante aromática em um primeiro momento, com notas cítricas que lembram maçã e ameixa, mas também bastante alcoólico. Na boca reforça o aspecto alcoólico, com característica bastante tânica, lembrando fruta verde e com frescor. — 8 months ago

Deep, damson mid season cherry, licorice, anise, rustic nose, juicy, complex, huge furry tannins. Well made, decent length, balanced and pretty, elegant. Needs air.

On day 2 this is transformed. Ripe and rich with wonderful stylishness and pure deep fruit. Terrific wine.
