Pie Franco Jumilla Monastrell 2010

Delicate and refined. Not what I am use to with wines from Jumilla. However, age has likely mellowed this one out. Slightly past it’s prime perhaps, but reminds me of a nice Barolo. — 7 years ago

Great with olives. This is going to be great with lamb steaks too. Happy Easter week! — 12 years ago

Franco Pacenti

Canalicchio Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

No formal notes. Sweet mix of black/red fruit, ripe yet assertive tannins, nice mid-palate juice, leathery. Structured and quiet now, shows potential. — 6 years ago

Mastroberardino

Nova Serra Greco di Tufo

Best Greco I’ve had, and I’ve had many. This is an amazingly underrated grape, but’s great along, with cheese, or light fare. All I know is that I want to try some of the other obscure Mastrobernardino whites I can’t usually get and in fact have barely heard of. — 6 years ago

Cappellano

Otin Fiorin Piè Franco-Michet Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

I will say that this is too young & should be cellared for the foreseeable future. It does show some wonderfully deep aromatics showing balsamic & floral notes. A wine you can sniff for hours. Elegant & finessed palate with hints of smoke & a mix of red & black fruit. The structure is obviously prominent in youth, but the balance between power and elegance is something to behold. I'm not sure if I should have opened at this stage, but I feel fortunate to have had this. — 10 years ago

@WC Fields - very good question(s). I'm glad we had this, but won't be checking back in on younger vintages for a while. I love how you state the point about time spent with other wines. Cheers 🍷

One of the few Barolos from ungrafted vines

Paitin di Pasquero-Elia

Serra Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2009

Some of the happiness may indeed be because I've been a little to Californian lately. Occupational hazard. This has got pretty violet aromas mixed with herbal notes of pine and faint rosemary. Palate reflects aromas, adding dried cranberries, leather and tobacco notes. Good tannic grip. — 12 years ago

Barbera d'Alba 2014

A nice slightly acidic Italian red. Not dry and has a touch of acidity. Great wine to serve over dinner, but more so to guests who may not be red lovers. Crowd pleaser. — 10 years ago
