This is Aeris, not the Gen Z lingerie store….either way, don’t love this - wooden nose, continues on the palate, initial sparkle faded with air but doesn’t overcome the earthiness implied by the smorgasbord of Italian varietals that make up the blend — 4 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 — 2 months ago

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

This might be OTH at this point - nose is great, full of fruit, but the palate comes up short and a bit wooden. I think this is part of the batch that froze in the garage at Verona - might have something to do with it — 11 days ago

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

Excellent Pinot but I think inferior to the Tetarossa lineup — 2 months 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) — 3 months ago

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 — a month 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 — a month ago

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