Lychee, rose. Fruity nose but dry and delicious. We had it with Chinese food — 7 years ago

Morgon Gamay

Medium ruby color and a pronounced nose of raspberry, violet and a spice note reminiscent of sandalwood incense. Lovely medium body with silky texture. Good acid balance for food pairing and a long lovely finish. Wonderful evocation of serious Beaujolais — 8 years ago

Roagna

Dolcetto d'Alba 2014

There is Dolcetto, and then there is Roagna Dolcetto. I have been drinking this since the 2006 or so vintage and this is the best version yet. Cheap, generous, with snap and juicy dark red fruits. Gulpable with a bowl of pasta, a harmonious pairing with sage spiked lamb bolognese. Only 12% abv!! Back up the truck and drink it right away, this is best fresh and not for aging. #roagna — 9 years ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2010

Really, really nice, esp at this price point. Light color, nice fruit, flowery nose, serious tannins. Very food friendly and flexible. A joy. Mellowed out on day 2, but I liked it more when it was sharper day 1.

Le Orme Superiore Barbera d'Asti 2012

Slightly fuller bodied than most Barbera. Thyme, blueberry, and hints of pepper. Goes amazingly well with food. Try with something rustic like lamb or beef stew. — 8 years ago

Bruised red strawberry & raspberry fruit, elegant, herbal notes, tea leaf with very light balsamic and decaying fruit character. In the mouth the wine excels with dried red fruit backed up by serious tannins and plenty of acidic lift to keep it fresh and exciting but more food friendly.

Château Musar

Bekaa Valley Red Blend 1993

Light garnet color bordering on delicate with fine sediment. Musty almond paste on closed nose. Tart apricot, cherry pie. Clover, allspice finish. Lingering menthol appears with time. So many more notes rise and fall with food. Soft, luscious, curious and lovely. — 9 years ago

Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe

La Crau Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 1994

Phwew. This is a superb wine. Wife bought it 20 years ago and cellared it since then. Lots of fruit for a 22 year old wine. Good amount of tannins-sharper than a Bordeaux. Lots of aid to go with food, but I'm enough of a fan of the style and particular wine in particular to drink it after dinner. This one is a '94.

Could definitely age it for longer because it has the structure. The wine pros on Delectable also seen to indicate that 1985's are drinking particularly well right now.

Hot rocks, crunchy red fruit, cinnamon. Perhaps a touch less acidity than I expect from this wine, but that's a quibble. Needs food. — 10 years ago
