20231124 Trattoria Terraluna Monforte Alba with Wakano

Excellent wine!
Excellent taste of some rhubarb, melting into berries.
Nice red, not to strong but definitely color of Barolo.

Opened several hours prior to service and poured into a ship’s decanter. The 1967 “Riserva” pours a ruddy garnet color with a transparent core and a slightly orange-ish rim. Medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some slight signs of fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous but the fruit is still showing so well! A mix of ripe and desiccated red and dark fruits with forest floor, porcini, dried roses, tar, some tobacco, dried herbs, dusty earth and exotic spices. On the palate, the wine is dry; medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long a slightly savory. This is drinking so well right now and I reckon it’s on a plateau of pleasure. It almost seems evergreen considering its vigor. Drink now because you’ve already waited long enough! — 23 days ago

Rich, elegant, smoky, anise notes, ripe black fruits, medium + body, lingers with supple tanins that reach out and grip here and there. Wish the bottle was larger.

Enjoyed with a Dijon Rosemary crusted rack of lamb. Perfect. — 23 days ago

The 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis is an absolutely gorgeous wine that needs plenty of air to open. Bright red-toned fruit, blood orange, rose petal, cinnamon, star anise and mint all grace this mid-weight, wonderfully expressive Barolo. It has been some years since I have tasted a Cavallotto Barolo with this kind of translucent old-school classicism. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2023)

Hints of hazelnut and mint. Strong aroma that reminds one of truffles. Definitely made from grapes grown in soils with 42% porosity and a medium moisture content, presence of cracked limestone below the soils can be tasted in the aftertaste. It does not taste like grape juice…… in other words my son who wrote this review is a geologist and likes spending his father’s money buying nice wine — 6 days ago

This is the 2011 Sandrone Cannubi Brochis Barolo. Single Vineyard from Piedmont. A wonderful wine we enjoyed this week.

On the nose the is strawberry, cherry, rose, graphite, balsamic, mint and pepper.

On the palate there is cherry, black raspberry, black plum, spice, pepper, herbs and light chocolate.

This is a full bodied wine with a smooth mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium+ firm fine tannins that leaves you with a beautiful red & black fruit underbrush finish. I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to their weekend and enjoying some wonderful wines. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — a month ago
