Vigna Giachini Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Decanted for about nine hours. Fresh raspberries, cherries, and a bit of mushrooms. Very elegant. Full-bodied, but not quite as powerful as other Barolos I’ve had over the years. — 10 months ago

Rocca delle Macìe

Riserva Famiglia Zingarelli Chianti Classico Sangiovese Blend 2016

Fantastic Chianti! Dusty, earthy, expressive, full body. What else? Dark fruit carried by notes of leather, cigar box. Crazy, all that for a Chianti, how is that possible 🤓. — 3 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2005

Nice sour cherry taste to it. Pretty balanced and opened up to have pine needle Forrest kind of aromas. Merry Christmas all — 11 years ago

Giovanni Chiappini

Guado de' Gemoli Bolgheri Superiore Super Tuscan Blend 2015

At first a blast of dark fruit, plum, blueberries, black currants and violet. Then a hint of green pepper then chocolate and wood. Super smooth integrated tannins, tiniest bit grippy at the end. Finish is loooong. Later as it opened some black tea also. Super. — 9 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

Wonderful plums and dark fruits with a hint of leather on the palate and nose. Enjoyed it with an eggplant-sun dried tomato pasta and chicken sautéed in an Italian odori base. Fabuloso! — 10 years ago

Giovanni Viberti

Langhe DOC Nebbiolo 2022

Deep garnet color. Aromas of bright/ripe/sweet red fruit, rose petals, charcoal and light oak. Ripe red cherry and plum fruit on the palate with hints of sweet spices. Long finish with pleasant notes of wood smoke. Juicy tannins and quite elegant for such a young Nebbiolo based wine. Quite fresh and invigorating. Thanks for sharing, Keith S. — 10 months ago

Pasini Azienda Agricola San Giovanni

Il Valtenesi Da Uve Groppello 2013

Very interesting. Super dark but very bright. Lots of juicy acidity and jammy. Not very tannic, medium to light bodied but with a lot of up-front savoriness. Strawberries, unripe blackberry, even some citrus peel, prune, some blue ballpoint pen, and funkiness. From Shawn's. — 9 years ago
