Highlight of the night! And a surprise to some degree. I kind off had given up on Lynch Bages. Given the high price, to me, the 2015 and 2016 were below expectation. But, boy, this 2018 rung all bells. Super concentrated, layers of evolving dark cherry, blueberry, current flavors and a superb balanced finish. All one could wish for. — 2 days ago

9.3

I think this may be my first ever Barbaresco. Decanted for four hours. Having alongside short rib bolognese home made all the way.
Medium body. Transparent garnet with tawny edge. Lots going on with the nose! Strawberries, spice, flowers, dusty stone, just a hint of leather, and cedar. On the palate pomegranate, cherry, strawberry, cranberry, and sweet tobacco. Will not be my last Barbaresco! — 17 days ago

@Paul K Happy New Year to you and your family!! We love Barbaresco wines!! Best approach to it is to visit the region during white truffle season, drink locally, and bring copious amounts of it home with you 😂 A few producers we recommend trying are Sottimano, Roagna, La Spinetta, Vietti, Bruno Rocca… obviously you’ve discovered Gaja 💕😆

@Paul K P.S. An insanely good QPR can also be found with Nebbiolo Langhe wines, made with the same grape, but in a more youthful, early-drinking style at a fraction of the price. For example GB Burlotto’s Nebbiolo Langhe is stunning!! 😍 Cheers, friend!! We look forward to hearing what you think on this journey! 🍷🍷

12/2024. Sits so well on the palate. Full flavor and not over powering with cherry. My favorite Pinot. Paired so well with my NYE dinner at Hall’s Chophouse.

Wow this is too young! Opened it, had a glass, then left it on counter for 24 hours. Better, but still needs more air. Cassis, dried meats, cherry, herbs, a bit of wood, more red fruits. It’s all there just need to open it in a decade. — 2 days ago
