From the DOC Noto Nero d'Avola (Sicily) to my parent's table in order to mitigate the legumes gloom that springs out of a winter beans soup bowl - "pasta e fagioli"- so eloquent in his humble celestiality.
Pierpaolo Messina's the producer, Marabino's name of the winery. What a pomegranates plot like! Same succulence of a "blood orange" squeezed by this red wine originated from vineyards rooted on such a white soil "terra ianca"! A fertile land cultivated with art wisdom and awareness, all qualities though, applied with energetic measures by Pierpaolo who's inspired at - both practical and theoretical - some sound principles in the biodynamic agriculture arousal. — 10 years ago

They say with age comes wisdom; in wine, comes stinky old leather and cigar box. Opens with a crazy almost gamey bouquet of baked earth, black licorice, cola and green herbs, with just a hint of dusty library. The palate sings with fruit, although it's just starting to hum. Only had a coravin pour so couldn't truly let it breathe; needs a good decant...and a seat by the fireplace (with cigars) — 10 years ago

Great Georgian toast is to your neighbor - he is the most important, especially if you moved into new place.

Here are neighbors from one river banks, but different countries. Sogevinus Fine Wines & Bodegas Emilio Moro - made this opulent, rich and silky wine. Elegant fruit, wrapped into noble oak, great wine -with each sip I can contemplate about toasts wisdom - vostok delo tonkoe.

Maybe missing a bit of length,but I forgive them, the balance is perfect. Don't expect claws, this is tuxedo dress code. — 11 years ago

Found this wonderfully balanced, slightly sour & pleasantly juicy wine to be exactly what it's label suggests - an acoustic wine, based on the "unplugged", unfussy wisdom of ancient vineyards. An expressive palate of sour cherry, juicy red fruit and earthy undertones. Perfect to sip or share... but you may find me not in the sharing mood. Just sayin'... — 13 years ago

This is still a great wine and will improve further. Quite rich with ripe peach and mango but very well balanced mineral finish. Conventional wisdom says that Condrieu shouldn't age well, this is the proof that some can! — 10 years ago

I thought this might be a Musar, blind. There was a sort of transparent intensity to this, with a dusting of integrated dog fur and nutmeg oak. This has some wisdom, and still such energy! — 10 years ago

Value at the other end of the $ spectrum! 2002 @YarraYering No2 #FilthyGoodVino Loved this vintage. Making wine in 2002 was the definition of true love. Yields were close to 0.5 tonnes/acre. Intensity was insane, yet, the No2 retained the delicacy you'd expect from a YY. Personality & refinement. Seeing this wine evolve is a demonstration of excellence, showing how wines of real personality that have the fruit to back it tell even more intriguing stories as they age! Wine wisdom! An often missed detail of the YY labels is the leaves that adourn them. The are Bay Leaves, also known as Laurel, not vine leaves. A tribute to Laurel, the Doc's other true love. It was a great shame to visit the cellar door and see that the Laurel had been dug up. It was beautiful tree with a connection to the history of the winery and the founders. — 11 years ago
