Rivera di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo 2001

Stunning wine, still very primary but some leather and earth tones emerging. Hold for a while longer or enjoy now for the beautiful black cherries and rose petals — 8 years ago

Riserva Cappellaccio Castel del Monte Aglianico 2009

Very nice Aglianico. Tannins are powdery and nicely integrated. Wine opens with air and is very pleasant after 1hour. Think this is 1-2years from hitting the sweet spot. Went perfectly with braised oxtail — 10 years ago

Vina Santurnia Gran Reserva Rioja

v2001. A bit of Brett, initially, but that dissipated about 30 min after opening, which allowed aromas of lavender, leather and black fruit to shine. Black cherry, roasted meat, and juicy acidity on the palate, and a great finish. I really can't relate to the low ratings some have given this wine. A good, moderately aged Rioja at $35? Yes, yes it is. — 11 years ago

Dorado Rueda Verdejo

Feeling lucky to have tasted such a rare and special wine that usually never makes it to the states. It’s been quite a while since this moment. Hopefully we’ve begun to import it. — 9 years ago

Epifanio Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2013

Rose petals, bits of twig, blackberry seed , and shank of cedar.
Rustic and new, a wine that tastes like multiple generations had a hand making it. Monday wine? Lovely.

Triusco Puglia IGT Primitivo 2001

2001 vintage. Garnet with hints of amber. Floral/blackberry nose. Rich velvety red fruit, off dry, slightly tart on the finish. Started at an hour and a half after opening, was still improving at three hours. Significant sediment, recommend decanting. — 11 years ago

Oddero

Rocche dei Rivera di Castiglione Barolo Nebbiolo

Despite being 18 years old it needed hours and hours of decanting and towards the end of the night it finally started coming around. Want to have it again in a few years with hours of decanting to see how it's matured. — 11 years ago
