Nice looking bottle, TS fill. Brought to Grasings in Carmel, opened/decanted 4 hrs before. Reddish tawny, doesn’t look it’s age. Wow nose. Exotic, attention grabbing. Notes of tea, rose petals, black fruit, some licorice and a little menthol. Ethereal in the mouth. Needed 5+ hrs to show its stuff. Had the staff standing in line for some shared pours. Great showing. At peak but bottles like this one are going to deliver pleasure for another 10 years easily. — 6 years ago

1982 Bruno Giacosa Serralunga d'Alba Riserva Barolo. Second red at post-museum lunch at Il P. Drank this alongside the '82 Giacosa Brunello. This was much more well rounded with a longer finish. More favored of the two wines hands down — 10 years ago

Great nose. Tightly focused berry fruit. Some florals. Spice. Palate is dense, concentrated and pure with wonderful elegance. Amazingly fresh and such terrific palate presence and texture. Grippy tannins and very sappy. Excellent acids. Like this a lot. Terrific sweetness. Awesome. — 5 years ago

Paired beautifully with a dish covered with truffles. By itself a bit one note. Seemed youthful. — 6 years ago

Notes of plum, cherry and spice as it opens up. Hint of burnt orange mid palate with soft enveloping tannins, elegant linger and finish. — 6 years ago

Don’t be fooled by its light color. This wine has bold flavor yet is very smooth and soft on the palate. — 8 years ago

Merlot based beauty from the foothills of the Dolomites, so silky. Perfect age to drink it, with primary fruit still hanging on. $$ but worth it. — 10 years ago

Translucent cherry red. A spectacular nose. Black cherry, dried herbs and leather with a whiff of tobacco. Beautiful balance on the palate. Savory and bright. Quite lifted with a great, light intensity. Amazing. — 6 years ago

BG barbaresco leads the pack. Round, rich, earthy, and full bodied. Great balance for the grape. Black cherry, cedar, and dried fruit. While not a top vintage, a benchmark that’s in its drinking window. St. Stephen will remain... — 7 years ago

What a beautiful wine. Surprisingly approachable and soft for a young Nebbiolo, while still showing the structure and harmony these wines are famous for. For the money, a 10! — 8 years ago
