With some extra breathing time this decanted bottle proved to be fantastic and still lively — 7 years ago
The best barbaresco I've tasted. — 8 years ago
Lightly textured and finessed. Barolo made by a Barbaresco specialist. — 10 years ago
Isn't Amarone Italian for "love?" If it isn't, it should be! "Amarone." "Amore." A rose by any other name... — 10 years ago
Concentrated red fruit encased in chocolate and finished with licorice and finishing with bright acidity. Generous and opulent yet balanced. — 11 years ago
Very nice with a heaping bowl of cheesy pizzoccheri; an absolutely perfect winter combo. — 5 years ago
There is a slight misalignment between the fruit and phenolic ripeness, also a mismatch between the oak and the terroir, but it is still an authentic, genuine Langhe Nebbiolo. Wide range of aromatic nuances and dynamic expression with authority. Less polished than Roagna and less subtle than Cascina delle Rose but those three are of similar mold. A relaxed style of winemaking that is complete opposite of producers like Albino Rocca, Bruno Rocca and Sottimano who have a perfectionist approach, — 6 years ago
Woof. Fermenty, citrusy, creamy aromas. Long, slow, peppery burn. Finish never ends. — 7 years ago
Great with spicy food (in my case clams and nduja) - lightly effervescent with mild sweetness. Also easy drinking on its own, like when you want champagne but can't commit to the party. Michael makes the best recommendations! — 7 years ago
Dynamite nose with lovely nuance but just a tad reticent on the palate, a bit clipped on the finish. Delightful nonetheless. The 2004. — 8 years ago
Still a young wine and could go many more years. Well balanced with a mushroom and black truffle overtone. — 9 years ago
A touch of VA and a heavy spicy nose, super-refined and bright and zesty on the palate...really fine stuff. — 9 years ago
2000 blend - it's amazing. Astonishingly good. — 9 years ago
Very pretty nose of rosé petal red cherry and black spice a very dry and tannic with pretty exotic spice and lots of fruit but needs time. Most excellent — 11 years ago
Unreal that I have not tried Italian whites with this complexity before. Major gap in wine appreciation. This is deceptively hot on the nose, but on tasting it's a medium to full with bracing back acidity. Smells of pineapple and kiwi, but the mouth is all quince pucker and yellow fruit. Just amazing with a fatty flavorful fish or roast chicken — 7 years ago
Great stuff! Still an admirable tannic bite. If I had to describe it, I'd say it's two parts Roagna Dolcetto and one part Cayron Gigondas. A lovely pairing to lamb rib chops and garlicky baby potatoes. — 7 years ago
I need more of this in my life. — 8 years ago
I'm surprised by pro rating because I really enjoyed the wine after waiting it breathe. Great price too — 9 years ago
Surprisingly light for a Nebbiolo, tart fruit, great on its own but especially with food — 9 years ago
A random purchase and what a surprise. — 10 years ago
