This is the Tawse G-C - regal nose, but disappoints a bit on the palate - a little acidic and a little wooden - fruit seems too tight. Not sure if needs more age — 10 days ago

Excellent Pinot but I think inferior to the Tetarossa lineup — 2 months ago

Excellent Barbera, especially given its youth, sparkle tamed after an hour or so — 2 months ago

Stellar Barolo. Definitely of the new school, lighter color, lightly structured, but radiant fruit in a refined style. Decanted 2hrs. Perfect pairing for veal/osso buco, maybe less so for a roast. Some debate whether more age would refine the fruit further or cause it to dissipate. No idea but have two more so can experiment! Made me want to get on an overnight to Piedmont tonight. — 4 months ago

Loved this esp for the value - I think age was key - just old enough to have a little mustiness/austerity to it, but young enough to catch all the fruit and well before the cobwebs set in. Paired with a 40oz ribeye shared by the table — 17 days ago

Still pretty strong tannins…the search for a tolerable Barbaresco continues — 2 months ago

Have held onto a six pack of these for several years but it’s not been long enough…super sparkly, like it’s a ‘24. Despite decanting two hours! Love the Rafanelli but needs a lot of age. — 3 months ago

Excellent Pinot, beautiful nose, a little lighter on the palate but well balanced, still a bit of sparkle despite the age — 25 days ago

Wedding chard but haven’t had it in years - highly quaffable, on the lighter side, strong peach on the nose but fades a bit on the palate - I wouldn’t pair it with heavier sauces but works well with a light seafood dish — a month ago

This is a classic style Barolo from PW…excellent but still pretty tannic, could use some more time (and it’s a mag so maybe more opening) — 2 months ago
