Lovely Valentine’s Day enjoyment! This vintage was great with a steak and potatoes. Very smooth, a hint of tobacco and black fruits. Tannins that definitely stand up. 👍🏻 — 3 months ago

Possibly a potential go to medium $ Pinot noir. Can't think of what is better except for stuff we have equity in — 5 months ago

Quite deep garnet , just a hint of ruby and a wide garnet , terracotta rim. Touches of chestnut , dark fruits , earthy liquorice , dry spice and black tea . On the palate this is very classically styled , with dark liquorice tinged blackberry, raspberry , spiced black tea and menthol tinged good long length finish . Balanced acaidity and quite high , grippy tannins. With time this is beginning to show quite well , but will not doubt improve over the next 5 perhaps 10 years and last well a further 10 . Really quite classic and imposing in style , but detailed and complex. — 6 months ago

Vintage 2021 | dark colour, blackberry, plum, hint of violets. A rounded taste with spice. Beautiful balance. I like this wine that is a bit arrogant and playing hard to get. — 7 months ago

Too young, however a good representation of a young blended Barolo. — 7 years ago

Only a touch less panoramic perhaps than the recent 2010 of this. A little browning, probably still at its peak. Seems to respond better to gradual airing in the bottle or glass than being poured into decanter. $190 from Winestar. — 4 months ago

Delightful organic white from one of the oldest estates in Sicilia. Complex, not too floral. So good. 2023 — 5 months ago

All in place for this 2016 Brunelo. Leather and wood together with dark fruits on the nose, smooth tannins, developing palate with a long finish. — 5 months ago

Heavy tannic and acidic, more spice/herb dominated style - reminds me more of aglianico than sangiovese. May seem unround now but has potential for decades! — 8 years ago

Fresh and bright with red cherry and plum fruit accented with tar, floral and brown spice notes. Palate has lovely texture with nice fruit and round tannins. Lacking a touch of depth and complexity that I would have expected with the bottle age. While not profound, very pleased to have 6 more bottles. — 7 years ago

Great wine indeed. Nose is complex, camphor, dry amarena cherry, some flint, no oxidation not fading on this bottle yet.
On the palate, Fruit is gone for this bottle, wine is dominated by its tannic structure that is on the dry side, almost austere. I was expecting a fleshier, mellower tannin. Dry herbs, dry raisins, cherry again.
Long finish, good acidity that’s keeps the wine alive and well going.
Mitigate the intensity with proteins and juice/sauce.
Osso bucco with prunes will work. We did Fiorentina and it was ok. The crust and smokiness did not help, over exhibiting the dryness of tannins. — 8 years ago
