Good way to start the week! Drinking quite well. Very smooth, acidity starting to drop. — 4 years ago

Revisiting my dear friend 2016 Petruccino from Podere Forte and she’s drop dead gorgeous as always.
Very inviting at first with perfectly ripe round edged fruit profile but with plenty of energy, red and black cherries, licorice, opening up with dried spice, tobacco and its Tuscan gravelyness with time in the glass. Long act on the palate, driven by its fresh acidity and almost powdery tannins that walks the intense fruit profile across the palate. Remarkable integration of the 14.5% alcohol. So convincing already yet with structure for further — 5 years ago

An excellent food wine! Paired this '15 with Gordon Ramsay's bolognese sauce. Substituted bison for beef. Decanter's review is pretty spot on but I'm just a tad shy of their 9.0. Regardless, at $18 it's a very pleasing drop that elevates a red sauce pasta to another level. And, if you are into Barbera vintages...'15 was a bobby-dazzler. — 6 years ago

Wow this is singing! What a nose. Gorgeous lemon inflected minerality. Hints of attractive spicey oak and stunning rocky minerality. Tree bark and herbs. So good. What a screaming mimi of a nose. Palate is rich and ripe but also nervy and tense. Amazing purity buttressed by that awesome Meursault richness. Lovely texture. Awesome mouthfeel and a lovely lemon drop lime zest finish. Wonderful. — 4 years ago

Christmas drop 🎄 The 2012 GG's have been drinking quite well lately (the Dellchen's wonderful!), but this was somewhat disappointing. Despite the stony minerality which I love, I feel the wine isn't finessed enough. It's ripe, but doesn't quite have the precision and lightness to counteract. While there's heaps of fruit, there's also ample petrol characters. Perhaps it's in a odd phase. Hope to taste another bottle in the future. — 7 years ago

Great drop from a great year. 5 years ok it's just getting started and probably good for another 5 or 10. Tennis softening, deep rich flavours. Red berries. Medium pepper and spice. Can't wait to drink as it ages. — 8 years ago

Incredibly consistent, 2018 notes fully apply. We love this wine, so fresh, so fun, so inexpensive via the Wine Club.

Nose has warmed green apple, lemon-lime seltzer, stainless steel and dry sandstone.

Palate has dried apple chips, frozen peach, tart green apple flesh with light sweetness and a dry finish.

Manually carbonated via soapstone bubbler in a pressure tank. — 4 years ago

Pinot noir tasting: great drop! Pungent fruit, strawberry, raspberry, blueberries. Earthiness and vanilla in the palate. Great length. Genial — 6 years ago

The 2016 Long Shadows 'Saggi' is a thrilling blend of Sangiovese (Boushey and Candy Mountain Vineyards) with 29% Cabernet Sauvignon (Weinbau Vineyard) and the remainder Syrah (Den Hoed Dutchman and Bacchus Vineyards). The nose is drop-dead gorgeous with bacon fat, black olive tapenade, mocha and fennel. The stunning range of aromas bring you back to the glass for more. Revealing a silky texture and a wonderfully ripe mouthfeel, this slowly unveils smoked meat, black tea, milk chocolate covered cherry and roasted fig flavors. Decadent, layered and downright delicious, this beautiful wine will enjoy an exceedingly long life in the cellar. Drink 20-9-2033- 95 — 6 years ago

09’ This is singing @Mike R Another wine from Mike- If this wasn’t the WOTN, it was damn close. Black fruits, black licorice, blackberry jam, floral notes, smokiness. This is a drop dead gorgeous wine. A very polished wine!! Especially from this vintage. There’s no need to hold onto this any longer. Drink them up in the next 10+ years. — 7 years ago
