Needed a few minutes to open up but wonderfully aromatic and silky smooth. Sour cherry with floral and herbal aromatics. — 3 days ago

Very lovely. Flower petals and truffles and rotting autumn leaves. More than held its own among the heavyweights — 6 days ago

Was frankly stunned by the elegance and freshness here, particularly given my own review of the ‘07 earlier this year, which was not nearly so giving. Vintage (and bottle) variation are real. In any case this was really beautiful and walked that delicate balance between refined grace and animal / rustic notes that I love, with firm but smooth tannins — 10 days ago

Super classic, roses and sour cherry, persimmon, licorice and sous bois. Would have been wine of the night if not for the rinaldi — 6 days ago

Very pale garnet / brown in the glass. The most mature wine of the night by far, surprisingly, a little Worcestershire-y — 6 days ago

Friulian project of the guy from Massican. Would have been cool to try this side by side with the Annia. This was full of ripe and fleshy orchard fruit and melon but with a tinge of briny coastal character. Would maybe hold another couple years — 10 days ago

This may not be the mostly purely delicious wine I’ve ever had (though it is up there) but it’s undoubtedly the most impressive. Vibrant purple in the glass, shockingly primary for 60 year old wine. Stunning fruit and structure. Clearly this is immortal — 6 days ago

Mag. A little old champagne to precede the old Nebbiolo. Mellow and vinous, pleasingly oxidative. Start of a mind blowing lineup celebrating @Michael Simonetti — 6 days ago

Ripe and powerful for a Chambolle. Black cherries, virile and pure — 12 days ago

8.8

Wasn’t familiar with this one but tasty. Brioche, orange zest, baked apple, very classic and rich (quite apart from the no-dosage trend these days) — 13 days ago
