This cuvée, from a small Chianti Classico-based co-op, is always a fantastic value. The 2020 Lamole is no exception. I love wines from this subregion. This has a boisterous nose of slightly sour cherry, pungent wild herbs, and dried loamy gravel. Soft in the mouth, and darker-hued than the nose suggests. The acids are quite soft (it’s a ‘20, so . . . ) and there’s plenty of ripe, soft tannin providing tactile interest. Ideally I’d like a bit more depth and length, but since I got it for under $20 there’s no way I’m complaining. — a month ago

A style I like - 13% abv, no oak, pure fruit, bit of stinky earth, good acid. — 6 months ago

Medium ruby color.
Aromas of fresh red fruit, cherry, honeysuckle,
Dry. Flavors of red fruit, licorice, floral, herbal. Moderate, firm tannins and great acidic backbone. Light and fresh. Lovely!

2023 vintage. Light-medium body with a consistent palate presence. No über-demonstrative characteristics but no gaping holes either. Pleasant, pretty and unafraid to converse throughout. At $15.10 resto cost a bottle, beyond decent value with most red Bourgogne efforts running me $35-$50 these days. Picked up two cases. The proverbial cheap chicken and the nice price. 03.28.25. — a month ago

Really nice CC. Nose has loads of rich, dark cherry and minerally, savory notes. Richly-flavored for an annata, it’s got concentration with very nice balance. Medium acids and a bit of tannin for framing. Stylistically more like a Riserva, but without any noticeable oak. — a year ago

2021 vintage. Nice nose. Light-medium body. Smoky, cherry nose. Put together well with some fleshiness on a substantial finish. Resto cost $29.27 a bottle for 1er Cru Givry red Burg. Picked up 2 cases and we'll see where it goes. Wouldn't age it for a decade+ but feel it could go for a solid 5-count. Eminently drinkable now. 03.28.25. — a month ago

Interesting Orange wine. Strong tannins, dark and musty, better when paired with a fatty meal to help cut through the acidity. — a month ago

Solid Chianti. Everything I want. Fruit, earth, leather, tobacco, more fruit at the end. Tasting great with 8 years of age. — 2 years ago
