Vigne A Porrona

La Ca' Nova

Vigne Bric Mentina Montefico Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2014

Quite a nice Barbaresco, and more accessible at this age than expected. Tannins are very much there but not grippy to the point of overwhelming. Deep earth and dark red fruit. Soft acid on the finish. Nice. — 8 years ago

Les Cornuelles Vieille Vigne Chinon Cabernet Franc

9.1

Big cab franc. Showing big fruit with enough herbaceousness to balance it out. May take a couple years to bloom but drinks great now — 9 years ago

Grosjean Frères

Vigne Rovettaz Vallée d'Aoste Petite Arvine 2015

Light yellow, acidic with a mild pepper finish. Good with fontina, toma, or a creamy goat cheese with pesto (especially the latter) on a warm summer day. — 9 years ago

Beau Vigne

Romeo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Bought this on a trip to Napa. Had not heard of the vineyard previous to our visit, but was impressed at our tasting. Really nice ripe round fruit, balanced body. Not inexpensive, but a worthy spurge — 10 years ago

Chais St. Laurent

La Vigne en Véron Chinon Cabernet Franc 2014

Vigne Tzeriat Vallee d'Aoste Pinot Noir 2011

Lamie Delle Vigne Puglia IGT Primitivo 2009

Wow. A dusty primitive with Riesling like fruit acid. Tons of pairing potential. — 12 years ago

Larmandier-Bernier

Vieille Vigne de Cramant Grand Cru Champagne 2007

I still remember the very 1st Champagne visit I had 12yrs ago with Pierre, it's so great to come full circle. This is rich, but balanced, a great apple tarte tartin quality to it when opened, so showed development, but being VV it's understandable. After being open for an hour everything came alive, white florals, beautiful minerality. Outstanding wine. — 8 years ago

Domaine Fourrier

Vieille Vigne Chambolle-Musigny Pinot Noir 2010

Tasty, but too young. Still a bit disjointed and the oak stuck out. Not really knocking it, as I knew I shouldn't be touching a 2010 yet. Hope to try it again in a few years. That being said, I do think the gevrey VV is a step above. — 9 years ago

Michel Delhommeau

Clos Armand Vieille Vigne Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Melon de Bourgogne 2011

Sea salt, pretzel, dried yellow apples, and a pervasive linger. Firm acidity still lively and ready to go another 5 at least. From this, you can get the idea why quirky Oregon producers are itching to play with Melon. — 9 years ago

Vigne Regali (Banfi)

Rosa Regale Sparkling Brachetto d'Acqui

Quite sweet, but not syrupy. A great dessert pairing with berries, but still enough effervescence to cut through dense fatty chocolate or other rich desserts. Dessert in a glass for me! — 10 years ago

Paitin di Pasquero-Elia

Sorì Paitin Vecchie Vigne Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2000

In a great place right now. Bitter chocolate, dark cherry, a little tarry. Best window is probably in next few years — 10 years ago

Tenuta del Portale

Le Vigne a Capanno Aglianico del Vulture Aglianico 2009

Lovely. From Lorenzo's home region. With Adrienne & Mike. — 11 years ago

Domaine Fourrier

Clos Solon Vieille Vigne Morey St. Denis Pinot Noir 2012

This had a rustic and savage style with a nose of brambly & racy fruits of black cherry, raspberry & a perfume of deep mineral, graphite, violets and baking spices. — 8 years ago

Reserve Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

Open about an hour and it's not singing but it is humming at least. A tad hot, but incredible. Balanced yet fulsome. Two plus hours in and just soars. Embers, earth, dark fruit, spice and integrated oak. Definitely 98+. Wow. — 9 years ago
