Rabajà Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2008

Aug 2025: aeration in open bottle for 2 hours while sipping. Great representation of Nebbiolo, traditional style, Barolo-like. Very deep and powerful, superb. Still potential for further aging — 9 years ago

Had this a week ago. I liked it, was thrown off by the smokey character. Was like smoked paprika and under-ripened cherries

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

We had the 2010 Vintage on 5/26-27/25. An excellent Brunello with tastes and scents of red cherry, leather, herbs and spice. Tannins all smoothed out. Medium bodied, Old World and well balanced. This got better with time. — 7 months ago

La Palazzetta (Flavio Fanti)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

With some of the entry-level Brunelli like this one, it’s a tough call when to open them. In my experience many try to play in the big leagues by overextracting. This one’s always been on the tannic, somewhat astringent side, so you want to wait to allow the tannins to drop and for it to settle down, but you don’t want to wait so long that the fruit dries up. I think this is about as good as it’s going to get. The fruit is still there, and the astringency is abating a bit. Still tannic. Good acids. Should go well with a simple pasta with tomato and sausage sauce.

UPDATE: After 24 hours under a vacuum seal, it was so astringent as to be nearly undrinkable, to my taste.

I got to enjoy the 1997 La Palazetta Riserva back in 2020 and it was still showing signs of youth. I loved it.

@Jay Kline - I vacuum-sealed it and revisited 24 hours later. Oxidative notes were prominent and it was so astringent as to be undrinkable

Stella di Campalto Podere San Giuseppe

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2008

06 & 08 side by side. 08 took a lot of air to come alive. Still quite stern. 06 more open. Sensed some va initially. It eventually straightened out and overtook the 08 — 6 years ago
