We had the 2012 vintage on 10/27-28/26. Light garnet in color. Got better after 90 minutes of air. Candied cherries and leather on the bouquet. Raspberry, red cherry, kirsch, and leather on the palate. Medium bodied. Old World. Nice finish. — 13 days ago

Another solid vintage. Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon with some Sangiovese blended in. Dark ruby/purple color. Aromas of ripe black fruit, wet soil, smoke and wild herbs. Flavors of black berry/current fruit, tobacco, baker’s chocolate, balsamic vinegar and some black pepper spice. Hint of menthol on the long finish. Dusty tannins and full bodied. Bold structure and loads of tension. Quite complex and powerful. Enjoyed at Dominick’s in Newton, NJ. — a month ago

It's fruity and has depth. I don't really taste the tannins in the prosciutto wrap. — 5 months ago

An absolutely incredible single vineyard Brunello from a landmark vintage. Dark ruby color with a slight brick rim. Aromas of forest floor, bramble fruit, tar and dried herbs. Flavors of black cherry, tobacco, black licorice and coffee. Long and luxurious finish and just enough velvety tannin to enhance and lengthen the experience. Medium-plus body and perfectly balanced acidity. Powerful, yet beautifully well structured. Still incredibly vibrant. Sangiovese at its finest! This wine has a personality all its own. Thanking Petey for making this incredible selection. Happy Birthday, Kase! — 7 months ago

Lovely Barolo from a ripe vintage really showed well after being decanted for an hour. — 9 months ago

Very tannic and acidic even after a couple of hours of decanting. It needs several hours (about eight) in the decanter to calm down and open up. Earthy and smokey. Dried dark cherries, pomegranate, tar, cedar, leather, and spices. Powerful and dense. — 5 years ago

very plush and open. Broad plush plummy fruit. Underbrush and a developed inky mineral. Soft around the edges with dried cherry and touches of leather and licorice. Gorgeous and long — 22 days ago

Dust, tar, dark cherry, white pepper, and anise on the nose. The same flavors come through on the palate with balsamic and fresh mushrooms emerging as well. Smooth and lush on the palate, and the tannins and acidity are beautifully balanced. Persistent finish but a little drying on the palate. Overall a pleasure to drink. I bet this will be great after a few years when those tertiary flavors are more developed. — 3 months ago

An absolutely fantastic single vineyard Brunello. Dark ruby color with a slight brick colored fade on the rim. Fragrant aromas of red berries, tobacco, leather and purple flowers. Flavors of ripe red and black cherries, coffee, black licorice and minerals. Distinct note of forest floor on the long lasting and luxurious finish. Full bodied. Silky tannins and impeccable balance. Powerful, yet quite suave, polished and sophisticated. Aging beautifully and should continue to improve. Absolutely outstanding! Thank you Kase for the wonderful gift! — 8 months ago

From magnum. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the make, the wine is developing with notes of cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, red flowers, licorice and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Well made. Drink now through 2036. — 6 months ago

2021 vintage. Last tasted 1.9.25 (9.3). Did indeed pick up extra for the resto and down to 1-2 bottles left. PNP. Still beyond solid for the price. It you find this vintage retail and it is $50 or below, you'd better pick it up or I'll call the federales/gendarmes/polizia/po po myself. — 8 months ago

One of the best langhe nebbiolos I’ve had recently, especially for a relatively reasonable price on the list at Leon’s. And a great pairing with pork braciole as well. Lots of fruit, but still quite refined, with great texture and acid. Quite pretty and delicious. — 8 months ago

Absolutely beautiful Granbussia Riserva, truffles, road tar, still quite structured and a tad tannic, but layers and layers of deep, complex flavors, absolutely lovely!! — 4 years ago
