Vigna Lazzairasco Barolo Nebbiolo 2009

Celebrating a journal publication... This Barolo is in a beautiful place right now. Showing bricking with a slightly lighter center hue. Softer nose, surprising for this cru, with bramble berry, rose perfume, dried leather, and pine needles. Velvet tannins with ripe acidity deliver juicy blackcherry fruit, with a slight kool-aid feel - in a good happy childhood memory kind of way - adding mid-palate sweetness. Finishes dry, yet strikingly balanced with integrated tannin and excellent length. Just a touch of oak hangs on. Medium weight and softening. Drink now with a little time in the glass. — 5 years ago

Coteaux Bourguignons White Blend 2020

Great white burgundy, with full, fruity flavor, but not sweet. Hint of oak and a hint of acidity make this a beautiful, crisp, yet full bodied wine. From Wall Street Journal Wines. Tasted 12 October 2022. — 2 years ago

Cognac Tesseron

Lot N° 76 X.O. Tradition Cognac Ugni Blanc Blend

Hard to beat for the price,
K&L notes,

The pristine condition of this stunningly copper-colored brandy is inspiring - it's gorgeous. In the nose there are delicate fragrances of spice, sesame seed, light oak, and baked pears; seven more minutes in the glass bring out pineapple, light toffee, milk, and brown sugar. The palate entry is elegant, composed, and moderately sweet in more of an oaky than a fruity way; by the midpalate stage, there's flavor evidence of ripe pear, white grapes, cake frosting, Oloroso sherry, orange peel, and dark honey. End up sugary sweet, satiny textured, and long in the throat. 4 Stars - Highly Recommended - Spirit Journal - F. Paul Pacult 40% ABV

Tarima Hill Old Vines Alicante Monastrell 2016

Something green gives way to fleshy round dark fruits. For a huge crowd of friends this pleased many and proved a solid qpr. My father bought a mixed case of wines via Wall Street Journal somehow? They’ve mostly been in this range of quality. — 5 years ago
