Tar, underbrush, anise, rose, raspberry. Bracing but not aggressive tannins. Really nice. Not as exciting the second night, which leads me to think it's at or near its peak. I've got more, so let's do this @Larry Frierson ! — 7 years ago

The Voerzio Capalot/Brunate 01 (mag) was the third WOTN for me. A perfect Voerzio expression. Hell of a nose and intensity/concentration. Much fresher and more vivid than a 09 I had last weekend. 01 seems to rock here again. Bright red stone fruit, dark roses and flowers, coffee bean, some mocha, tarry irony minerals. You kinda feel the old vines here. Wow. — 7 years ago

Really interesting wine which gets more complex the warmer it gets - would recommend this as an aperitif — 9 years ago

I have a cold so my nose is stuffed, but I this wine is intensely aromatic with dark Cherie and wet forest. Will do well to set aside this bottle for at least five more years. — 9 years ago

2001, Madonna delle Grazie Il Marroneto Sangiovese. A Brunello with 14 years of aging, doesn't get much better. Still has primary black fruit but layers of secondary flavors. It continues to open up and get more complex through the evening. — 10 years ago

Once decanted, magnificent. Full mouth of luscious dark berries with a lingering finish that begs for the next sip. Wonderful with red sauce on pasta. A great complement to nearly any Italian meal. If decanted for a couple hours, my bet is most of the other lower rated reviews would be much improved. Doesn’t need more bottle time. Just needs to be enjoyed! (And it requires food to bring out its depth and character the most! If I may be so bold, I recommend your favorite pasta with Emeril’s vodka sauce. Cannot beat it.) — 7 years ago

Interesting, sort of like you took Italian barbera and lightened up two notches. At first it was a bit sour cherry, high acid, and short finish but with time it put on a little weight and showed more what I would call the barbera hallmarks, a sort of richness, balsamic notes, bitter green near the back and a long finish. Interesting more than great but worthwhile none the less. — 9 years ago

I get the pinot/nebbiolo comparisons these wines get, but I think it acts a bit more like Grenache (aka Alicante or Cannonau in parts of Italy). I can see why they are on the rise. — 11 years ago

9.6

Beautiful nuanced Barolo that gains Nebbiolo expression with air. Substantial mouth puckering tannins, but balanced by ripe red fruit with excellent length. Aromas tend to high toned sour cherry and balsamico, even if this is a young wine. Darker fruit than the Albe, but also better length and depth. And more Barolo typicity. — 11 years ago

This was wonderful. Bright purple hues in the glass and a tightness on the first sip that told me we had to decant it. Did so for 24 hours and could have used some more.

Highly acidic, rich tannins, but well balanced with dark fruits and a little sourness. This is a complicated guy. I could use a few more glasses and another day of decanting to pull it apart. — 7 years ago

Still a little young with unresolved tannin but pointing in the right direction. Hint of alcohol on the nose but mostly that menthol eucalyptus note along with honeyed fruit, a hint of coffee. Dark colour mostly opaque and still youthful right to the edge. The palate is mostly fruit, fig, more herbs, quite dry but in a dark chocolate kind of way, that is, more-ish. — 8 years ago

Terre Nere's bigger, slightly bolder big brother. A bit more shoulder and depth with the same lovely dried violets, crushed earth, and minerality. Beautiful. — 9 years ago

Sam Decker

9.3

Longer oak and bottle aging than the Cerasuolo Classico, and correspondingly more cured meat and leather and earth balancing the bright red fruit. Very pretty. Cote Rotie fans should love the acid structure and savory tones. — 10 years ago

Andres Montoya

9.2

Rose petal, quince, potpourri, sour cherry. Fragrant and potent forest scents that follow through to the finish. Has a sweet herbal component that should Integrate nicely with some bottle age. Another one to lay down for the long haul. This one speaks more of cool climate styled Nebbiolo than Pinot. Think Valtellina instead of Barolo: — 10 years ago

Beautiful brilliant onion skin color. Muted nose on day one with a kind of sauvage impurity. Totally purified on day two: some vanilla, lemon curd, quince in a fresh and light expression. On the palate immediately attractive: round, smooth and light weighted. Keep it for the next day to get more. — 10 years ago

Sappy cherries, herbs, tobacco, loam. Very complex and structured for a wine with 5yrs. Delicious and calls for a Tuscan T-bone or even Hunter's Style Chicken. — 11 years ago

100% carricante. light oxidation and malo nose. citrus. med + body, med acidity, med body. katie says "who needs white burgundy?" about really great carricante. I think we both do. this is like a baby carricante with more crispness and a shorter finish and less dynamism. another perfect summer white. — 11 years ago
