9.0

Vino vValtellinese — my favorite. Still young but juicy, minty, red fruit, brown sugar, etc. Better than 2015 vintage. — 14 days ago

9.2

Like most Valtellinas, the color is very pale, and its 9 years of age are apparent in the amber rim. The nose is superb. Dried cherry, faded roses, light leather, some old library scents, some crushed stone. Lively in the mouth, with buoyant acids propelling along minerally just-ripe macerated cherry fruit, crushed rocks, and old barrel notes. I can’t imagine this will improve, and it’s drinking really well right now. Classic. — 5 months ago

9.1

Beautiful aromatics with light (dried?) dusty cherries, wilted flowers, a hint of rose. Quite light, quite aetheric. So enticing!
Light bodied on the palate and very juicy. A present, fine tannic frame, filled with light cherry, a hint of red fruits, a light herby note. So poised & elegant and really delicious! — 3 years ago

A Barolo wearing a paisley tie. Very fresh, medium minus body. Would have guessed five-year old Nebbiolo. — 20 days ago

9.3

Slightly less open knit than the Grumello but ultimately very similar. Bright juicy berries, roses, earth and rock texture. Opens up with a half hour of air. Great for current drinking — 3 months ago

9.3

Amazingly tight for a 16-year old wine. The acids are smell-able on the nose, zinging along tart, macerated wild cherry fruit and glacier-crushed rock fragments. (OK, maybe I’m making up the part about how the crushed rocks were created.) In the mouth it’s deep but the acids rip this along on the palate like a whitewater canoe ride. Really really unique and good. — 9 months ago

Fantastic! This Brunello is amazing - the 2017 feels like still quite young, chewable and still very complex. — 14 days ago

Notably firmer and more deeply pitched than the Grumello. Sassella all the way from now on — 2 years ago

9.1

Dark and brooding, smoky and masculine, yet with lightness and freshness. At 18 years of age this is in its perfect drinking window. A beautiful Nebbiolo that’s not from Barolo or Barbaresco. — 4 years ago
