Cinque Stelle Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2013

Even better 4 1/2 years after the first time I tried it. This wine/vintage over-performs. Comparable to some of the higher end riservas. — 5 months ago

Tortoniano Barolo Nebbiolo

This wine almost restored my faith in Barolo but fell off at the end. Good initially but doesn’t retain the same flavor profile for the entire bottle. Still decent wine. — 7 months ago

Don Julio

1942 Tequila Añejo

Has to be THE or one of the best tequilas around. Carmalized vanilla flavors, incredibly smooth and a long finish. One of the best sipping tequilas and you don’t need a chaser. — 5 years ago

Il Principe Langhe Nebbiolo

With scallops, octopus, crab, and later short ribs at an Italian restaurant. The glue has subsided, not rubbery, some fruit is coming out. But not special.

21 minutes later: The candied bacon came out, and it compliments the short rib very well.

Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

Strong sharp almost acrylic smell followed by rich fruity aroma, plumb - oak - layered rich and thick. Later on almost like expensive tea with a complex and fragrant bouquet .

Taste is sharp at first with stringent dry tannic. Powerful and strong. Followed by fruit. Plumb, cherry, stone fruit. Crisp and refreshing. Cuts though the fat like a knife. And ends with a bitter sweetness that makes you want to take another sip.

Not as amazing as I remembered back in 2017 in Montepulciano. But good in its own way. Softened much more the 2nd day. Maybe I should decant for 5hrs next time.

Don Miguel Gascón

Reserva Mendoza Malbec 2013

Prune flavors, but dry and round. Spicy/woody on the finish. Unassuming but complexly flavored. Deserves its own attention — don’t smother with food — 5 years ago

Bodegas Toro Albala

Don PX Convento Selección Montilla-Moriles Pedro Ximénez 1964

Source shares that the fruit in this wine is so concentrated it takes an entire acre of it to make only one or two bottles of this. The glass I had fully confirms the statement to the best of my tasting capabilities. — 5 months ago
