San Bartolomeo Dolcetto d'Alba 2023

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2023 “San Bartolomeo” pours a deep ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. This really needed air and showed better after an hour+ of being open. What unfurled was an elegant and quite beautiful expression of Dolcetto showing notes of fresh black berries, blueberries, purple flowers with the stems, a mix of dried herbs and warm spices with dry gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose, the finish is medium+ and slightly savory. A precise and technically brilliant Dolcetto. Drink now through 2030. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 6 months ago

La Spinetta

Vürsù Vigneto Valeirano Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2004

Fascinating side by side with the Pio Cesare ornato 2000. This had an unusual amount of sweet cherry fruit and was a new world bright contrast to the pio cesare. I really enjoyed this. The ornato is supposed to be more new world but it was very old world to me in contrast to the la spinetta barbaresco. — 9 years ago

Vallebelbo

Cesare Pavese Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Very interesting nebbiolo. Garnet color, started with low aroma but opened to a complex nose. Black fruit, floral notes, licorice, plums in liquor and the tipical rustic tone that most Italian wines have. Good tannin on the mouth, very nice acidity. Good permanence in mouth. Drank it for more than 2 hours to enjoy it at its fullest. — 7 years ago

Santa Lucia Barbera d'Alba 2017

Beautiful dark berry fruit nose. Palate doesn’t quite carry the same depth or intensity. Hits hard at the front but fades more quickly than expected. Still, nice food pairing wine with the low tannins and medium plus acid. 14.5%. — 6 months ago

Vintage Selection Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1965

1965. Birth year wine on birthday. Pronounced nose, weak in the middle, tired at the finish. But enough about me, the wine was great. Interesting at first with ripe strawberry, cherry, forest floor, cedar notes, long finish. After opening up bell pepper flavors emerged, which was fine but others may not like. I enjoy these old bottles made by the Mondavi family, this one signed by Cesare. Enriches the experience to know you are drinking an historic, old wine made by an iconic family. — 8 years ago

I’ve had it. After all I read about the vintage. Couldn’t believe how well this stood up. I have one more bottle in my cellar. Cheers!
