Grifo Del Quartaro Gavi di Gavi Cortese 1878

pear, citrus, must. Dare I say a little peppery? Very full bodied. Probably would have been better 6 months ago when I bought it. Oops. — 4 months ago

Monleale Colli Tortonesi Barbera 2015

Peppery plum is really shining through on this one. Red licorice and dried spice accents. Tannic grape skin gives it some grip. Long raisin finish. Like the Sun-Maid boxes I ate as a kid. A little sweet for me, but still good quality. Also added some to the passata I’m making from heirloom tomatoes, and it’s quite nice. — 7 months ago

La Scolca

Black Label Bianco Secco Gavi Cortese

Apples and grapefruit, most certainly little bit of a mineral in the finish. However, we just spent the whole afternoon drinking gin and tonics in the infinity pool here in Bermuda so pretty much anything will taste good.  — 10 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

Very nice but for some reason not quite singing at the same level of the last bottle we had of this earlier this year. I do suggest a 2+ hour decant. Lots of cherry and a bit of dark cherry. Quite balanced with great freshness. Long finish. Tannins are a bit chunky at this point, but still a great wine with a fatty steak. — 4 years ago

Suber Nero d'Avola Blend 2011

Черноплодка, черешня, красная сливовая шкурка, кожа, табак, морёное дерево, лакрица, грифель, сухая земля. Мощно и собранно, с корректной кислотностью и заметными, чуть царапающимися в послевкусии танинами, подсушивающими спелую фруктовую сладость. Аккуратно и глубоко, в меру естественно, с неплохой структурой, чуть рустично и разбалансированно, но интересно. — 7 years ago

Pale lemon with aromas of fresh stone fruits, citrus and salty floral notes, made with the Cortese grape. On the palate flavors of pear, apple and lemon citrus with lively acidity and blossom notes. Medium savory finish ending with citrus and floral mineral character. Nice! — 8 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2015

4-5 hour decant at first thought barely opened this quality Barolo but in glass we got some preview of its future majestic state. Initially utterly sealed on the nose. Very strong tannins still need integration & the perfumed rose & Black fruits were coaxed out by much glass swirling. So not complete infanticide but kinda close. Still fascinating though to glimpse the inner power of a developing Barolo — 5 years ago
