2010 has lots of acidities and lots of fruit still not fully merged with the structure, therefore it is still top heavy and slightly unbalanced. It still possesses the sense of authority, integrity and completeness all great wines have. — 5 years ago

The 2015 Langhe DOC bottling is really a strong effort. 100% Nebbiolo and declassified Barbaresco from the Martinenga cru, these younger vines are already producing some gorgeous fruit. I found this to be appreciably more elegant and complex than prior vintages, but perhaps that's just my palate evolving along with the young vines. The tannins are much softer than I was expecting, and such lovely fruit and aromatics at this stage. I really admire the purity and integrity of this wine at this modest price. Part of the beauty of Piedmont is discovering these pure Nebbiolo wines year in and year out that are quite serious and affordable. They provide lovely food wines to enjoy while our Barolo and Barbaresco are resting. Absolutely one to seek out and buy in multiples. A real steal at less than $20. — 6 years ago

Crafted like 50 dollar Bordeaux rather than 15 dollar Bordeaux. Authentic Bordeaux aroma, body and color. Polished exterior and powerful interior structure. Has multi-dimensional integrity and symmetry. Conventional but fine wine. Tastes right. — 8 years ago

Notes of sea spray and oyster shell indicating that this was the only GC Chablis in the lineup. In this warmer year the Chablis was harder to pick so I was pleased to be able to do that. Touch of butterscotch and a little salty on the palate. Great to keep its Chablis Integrity in this warm year. — 5 years ago

Dark and dense color, the aroma is subtly Italian with leather and licorice but is not lively with authentic local feel. The weight and density is very satisfying, it does not feel like mass-produced, event though it is modern and very clean. It does not have the nuances and aromatic intensity to be considered excellent, however the consistency and integrity of flavor is very impressive. — 6 years ago

There is no magic, but everything about is solid, authentic aromas, excellent fruit quality, plush texture, sound structure, subtle, appealing oak and overall harmony and integrity. Some might prefer more earth, more personality or stronger oak presence, but it has the focus and the definition most commercial, industrial wines miss. — 6 years ago

Top 2-3 Napa Cabs I've ever had. Magical nose, cassis, cocoa, red flowers. Rich but nicely aged mid-palate, spreading into a wide swathe of candied red and black fruit, soft but powerful. Secondary stuff in spades. Then - an explosion at the back-end of cedary fruit and fig, tobacco, dark chocolate that lasted for >60 seconds. Just a monumental wine, sadly a solo.
This is note #500 for me, grateful to so many Delectable contributors who take the time to educate and expand my wine perspectives (or, in the case of @Bill Bender...other stuff, too!). Thanks to @Anthony Lombardi @Kimberly Anderson @Jörgen Lindström Carlvik @Jeff Savigny@Ron R@Shawn R @Richard Steinberg @Martin G Rivard (who is living the dream), @Greg Gregory among so many others, not to mention @Roman Sukley with magical reach to inaccessible, iconic SQNs (and the will to pop them) and frank open perspectives from legendary winemakers like @Mike Smith and @Cathy Corison, you all make this a neat community of which I try to be a small contributor.
Finally - a renewed plea to @Antonio Galloni to return "trending" to this community, as it was stolen by the bean counters! I'm no social media expert (I do have 2 teenagers!) but I'm pretty sure that "trending" speaks to the integrity and will to contribute of an entire community...take a look! — 7 years ago
