Truly a 10/10. Floral bouquet of flavor and went fantastic with steak. Purchased in Naples. — 9 months ago

Drogone Campania Aglianico

Full body and full tannins meet the earthy murky sweetness of a great natural wine. All of the mouthfeels coupled with broody intellectual flavors—smoky tobacco and freshly polished leather shoes. But that acidy brightness makes me feel like I could drink the entire bottle. Fantastic appritivo to your favorite pizza and a very gorgeous wine — 6 years ago

Il Marroneto

Madonna delle Grazie Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2001

2001, Madonna delle Grazie Il Marroneto Sangiovese. A Brunello with 14 years of aging, doesn't get much better. Still has primary black fruit but layers of secondary flavors. It continues to open up and get more complex through the evening. — 11 years ago

Il Greppone Mazzi (Ruffino)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2014

Ming L
9.3

2014 is a notoriously difficult vintage in Tuscany, but this showcases the finesses achievable in a challenging season.

The nose shows fresh cherry, red currant, pinecone, violet, and touch of leather and baking spices. Medium-to-full body on the leaner side, the plate is marked by vibrant acidity and refined silky tannins. Hint of sweetness on the long finish.

Rivera

Riserva Il Falcone Castel del Monte Rosso 2009

Any wine that can shine from a plastic cup deserves extra kudos. Mistook for a Northern nebbiolo with its structure, detail, & balance, but the fruit is pure southern, pomegranate & black currants. Eye opener (esp for 30$ list). Want to re taste in proper stemware. I think 80% nero di trioa 20% montulpiciano — 10 years ago

Il Paradiso di Manfredi

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2009

Тальк, сочная вишня, брусника, красная смородина, легкие животные тона, пот, марганцовка, каперсы, сухая земля. Среднее тело с элегантной, естественной органолептикой, живой кислотностью и тонкими, аккуратными танинами. Уже вполне открыто, в хорошей форме. Легко и изящно в движениях, без большой комплексности, но с отличной фактурой и внутренней гармонией. — 8 years ago
