Nose Raspberry & fired barrel. It’s body, non-dense & its colour has a hue cinnamon in centre of pour redness. Flavour presentation: Front delivers a tight Bing Cherry with larger impression of plum followed by lacing of rose petal & mint. It closes with leathery tannins which introducing a smooth lengthy graphite finish.
Well balanced & good value🍷 — 5 years ago

Pale straw. Beautiful aroma of citrus (lemon), white flowers, white pepper/ginger and yellow pear. In the mouth is medium plus and shows beautiful balance and tension and minerality. With time in the glass some herbal and saline notes emerge and the finish acquires almost a honeysh profile. One of the most interesting carricantes I’ve tried from Etna. — 5 years ago

In good shape given the age. Dark composed blackcurrant fruit. Not that complex and a bit abrupt, but resolved. — 6 years ago

Reasonable complexity on a relatively open and oxidised base, but a little short. Probably drunk a little to quickly and in the wrong company (the wine, not the people). Perhaps not the best bottle but holding up remarkably well. — 6 years ago

@delectable Montepepe grand vintage s1 collection.

Wow. Made by the former winemaker at gaja (15 years) federico curtaz.

Nose is so pretty. You get the classic Viognier florals but they are moderated by the vermentino. As it opens like this gorgeous rich floral mineral thing. The vermentino gives it this Italian character which is quite subtle. As it opens effing perfume. Wow. Gods blood. Effing gorgeous. Deep perfume but not unctuous. Hits every cell in the nose. Just an English garden in spring.

Palate is super fresh. Would not guess 2009. Rich but balanced. Weight is very Burgundian. Chassagne Montrachet. You get this creeping palate conquest as the flavors spread. A _perfectly_ well made wine. Minerals are almost sweet. Round stones made from Petrified green apples and a hint of tropical fruit.

An hour in just effing insane. Perfect texture. Silky yet present. Perfect balance between fruit minerality richness and acidity. Good density but more a wine of perfection. Wow.

Basically tastes like viognier grown in chassagne Montrachet. You get there minerality you want from burgundy with that gorgeous kiss of viognier that is mellowed by the vermentino. Ok. This makes no sense unless you taste it.

Long finish. Mineral. Floral. So good.

It’s almost like cool climate viognier so you get the aromatics but not the too much ness. The vermentino really balances it out. — 5 years ago

Besides its acidity, this Sardinian wine is an especially good pair with seafood because it carries the smell of the ocean. Salinity bursts forth with citrus in tow, both on the nose and the palate. It’s a savory wine with loads of character, and it’s a Vermentino from Sardegna. That’s really all you need to know.

This is a very enjoyable red Rioja.
Showing black and red fruits with earth, vegetables, spices, tobacco leaf, peppercorn, leather, cedar, leather and vanilla.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with with great complexity and mouthfeel.

Good by itself or with food. I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats, cheeses and pickled vegetables.

Nicely aged and peaking now. Nice and engaging.

A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha. Aged for 24 in American oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points. — 6 years ago

This was really great, excellent on the nose and in the mouth, well balanced, solid acidity and still good fruit but starting to develop aged characteristics. Also with Federico and a few other friends... — 8 years ago

Anno 2011. Ingresso quasi formaggioso al naso, dove non si esprime al meglio, ma in bocca viene fuori il verdicchio, fresco, minerale, glicerico, inconfondibile. Chapeau — 8 years ago

A flat-out stunner. Wow. What a wine. Initially restrained and taut, then gains body with time. We finished the bottle before I could see too much evolution in the glass 😊. From Jean-Marc Roulot and Piero Incisa, dedicated to the memory of Ned Benedict. This is a very special wine... — 5 years ago

Piero Incisa de la Rochetta’s (Sassicaia) pinot noir project in Patagonia, Argentina continues to deliver impressive results such as this mind blowing release, Sin Azufre. Natural wine at its best displaying tipicity, personality and approachability. For anyone into elegant Pinots with freshness, balance and value, look no further. — 6 years ago

This wine is like a mullet; serious up front, and party in the back.
The serious side reminds me of a Barbera; dark and red fruits with hints of pepper corn and green herbs. Then BOOM a playful spritz dances on your tongue and lifts the fruit profile to something reminiscent of confectionary cherries.
This wine pairs perfectly with wood-fired takeout pizza and friends who break apart wines as much as yourself! — 8 years ago
