Langhe Barbera 2021

Better than it was just a few months ago, which was right after bottling. Crushed raspberry and steel. Good acidity, low tannin but still substantial. Perfect burger wine! Chicken cordon bleu too! — 4 years ago

Roussot Dolcetto d'Alba

Goes really well with sesame chicken and noodles. Would probably go well with many chicken dishes. Light, not tannic/acidic. — 5 years ago

Pleasantly surprised by this bottle. Not much flavor from the first couple of sips, but nice and dry + crisp. Overall really refreshing and well-balanced. — 6 years ago

Christian Drouin (Domaine Coeur de Lion)

Calvados 1968

Near perfection....smooth butterscotch, carmel, cream with just enough complex apple and cinnamon spice on the nose. Medium body with a finish that lasts for minutes. My wife’s birth year and it’s nearly as impressive as she is. Worth every single penny!!! — 7 years ago

This is really solid but for 2 euros more the Vigna del Prey is a better QPR wine. — 4 years ago

Francesco Versio

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2016

Delectable Wine
9.4

The 2016 Barbaresco is fabulous. Rich, ample and inviting, with terrific depth, the 2016 opens up beautifully in the glass. Sweet cherry, licorice, mint, rose petal, spice and new leather flesh out effortlessly. More than anything, though, I admire the wine's persistence and overall balance. The 2016 is the finest Barbaresco I have tasted yet from Francesco Versio. This is such a pretty wine. Compared with previous vintages, the 2016 offers more finesse and a more transparent expression of Nebbiolo than I have seen in the past. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2019) — 7 years ago
