Baron' Ugo Toscana Rosso Red Blend 2019

No formal notes as this was the last wine served and I didn’t get enough time to examine in detail. Served blind. Medium ruby , quite wide garnet rim . Quite high toned , fresh red fruits , strawberry, raspberry , and touch of spice . Elegant and refined , very tensile . Quite fresh with spiced red cherry fruit , long and detailed , saline tinged on the finish . Impressive but very young , needs a bit more time really. Better in 5-10 years and will last well a further 10 or so. — 12 hours ago

Transition Saint Chinian Carignan

“L” natural Grenache at Primrose 2019 with Zubal on 7/14/21. Dazzlingly delightful recommended by Sebastian for $70. Dances on the front of the tongue. Light, lots of barnyard, to the point of “manure“. Does not stand up to food. — 4 years ago

Château Haut-Corbin

St. Émilion Grand Cru Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Nice balance, good berries up front and pepper and a little leather. I felt it could have a little more depth. Ugo liked it more than me. Aged well. Nice treat. — 3 years ago

Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

Very nice value langhe nebbiolo. Quite classic, starting with the color. Doesn’t have the depth or tannic seamlessness of some pricier wines, but still very well balanced with good fruit and earth and lifting acid. Nice. — 4 years ago

Falletto Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2015

Tasted blind. Hint of heat on the nose ? 14.5%. Smooth cherry. Good grip. Rich. Not super interesting but great great fruit. Finished second to ugo Lequio in an 11 bottle blind tasting. By far the most expensive wine. — 6 years ago
