Arnaldo-Caprai

25 Anni Sagrantino di Montefalco 2020

After the 2019 a couple of months ago now the 2020. Again, a superb wine but still needs additional time in the cellar. Patience will be rewarded I think — 24 days ago

A very stubborn grape 😉

Yes it is. But approachable due to modern winemaking I think. I can imagine that 20 years ago you should hold these at least 10-15 years before opening one

@Jamie Lauder Worth the drive from Barcelona for a tasting at the winery if you’re in the area.

It’s on my bucket list for a visit.
A friend and I bought a case of this upon release.
This is the first one I’ve opened of this vintage.
It’s worth the wait.

Château Margaux

Premier Grand Cru Classé Margaux Red Bordeaux Blend 1990

1990 vintage. Last tasted 11.19.25 (9.6)…yes…two days ago! Someone’s gotta do the dirty work. Comparable experiences with the cork, fill and flavors from the 11.19.25 visit. Not decanted. Tasted one and two hours after opening. After one hour open (not decanted)...a 9.4. two hours...a 9.5. Perhaps decanted, surmise it could have touched 9.6 but we'll never know. This specimen slightly more advanced but still ridiculously phenomenal. 11.21.25. — 2 months ago

I know, I’m here too early, but I bought 3 cases for a steal. I’m excited to see the evolution over next 25 years and I can have more than a bottle a year so no scolding required! 😉 looking forward to the education. Makes you think though. I’m about done buying Bordeaux futures. Too long to wait, store, and 20-25 years is starting to look blurry in the telescope. Now it’s on to auctions and buying wines that are ready. — a month ago

Allegrini

Palazzo della Torre Veronese Corvina Blend 2022

One of the wines that has made Allegrini famous, vineyard surrounds Villa della Torre. A blend of about 40% Corvina Veronese, 30% Corvinone, 25% Rondinella & 5% Sangiovese, deep Ruby color with aromas of dried berry fruit and pepper spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and black cherry with vanilla, figs and licorice notes, good balance, lively acid with fine chewy tannins. Medium finish ending with fruit, mineral and earthy spice. Nice value. — 3 months ago
