A fun New Years competition between Riva and Sizerrane. Both are winners. Though I’d say Riva had it by a nose. It was dense and deep. I loved the burnt caramel meat after two days in a decanter. The Siz was more elegant upfront and had a very long enjoyable finish that was haunting. Good stuff for 2023!

Still too soon, early 2000’s are the ones to drink while the 12’s & up will hold for another 15-20 years. Probably the most peppery Alban I’ve had
Parker 97, can see that in a few years

Silky smooth. Rolls off the pallet. Words are not adequate

After weeks of trying lower priced wines for an "exceptional value", in the end you get what you pay for. Deep cherry, tobacco, iron, smoke, low tannin, and a hint of funk. 15.8 ABV, but not a hint of burn, smooth as can be. Only going to get better. I believe this is the first vintage I made the allotment list on.
