Pelagrilli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Kid leather aromas with red savoury cherry also on the nose transferring to the medium weight palate. Very persistent attractive perfume. Quite delicious albeit with assertive tannins. This wine will continue in the cellar for at least another 5 years if desired. — 10 days ago

PAÍS FRANCO 2022

Fresh red berry notes, fruit-forward quality. Rustic earthy with hints of herb. Bright, lively acidity. Refreshing and easy to sip. It was great with light pasta! — 5 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

2nd time I've had this. Every wine gets a higher score at Christmas. This is a stern Barolo, uptight after 4 hours of air. Yummy, though, and pleasant to sip slowly next to the fireplace. Cherry cola, raspberries, roses, serious leathery tannins. It's a 6 year old Barolo, and that's what it tastes like.

I like my wines like my mother-in-law: stern, a little uptight, judging me quietly from across the table… and definitely need time to open up.

Barolo Nebbiolo 1961

9.4

Perhaps the most interesting & intriguing older wine/Barolo I’ve had in memory. It showed its tannin profile and fruit. Tart and just gently sweet cherries, tomato leaf, soft, almost sweet tarriness, light tobacco & leather. Group intrigue. Special.

Happy birthday to me.

Vecchie Vigne Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2013

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted after one hour. Super durty nose and approach. Light-medium body with a erupting spice festival afoot. Maybe another 3-4 years in the current appeal before the morph. 10.03.25. — 9 months ago
