Orange rind, tar, tobacco, tea, green and oolong, floral and confectionery, super complex nose. Stunning. 9.7. Soft and sweet but also super structured and tannic. So linear and so pure. Finish is slightly clipped. Good concentration, freshness and depth. So clean. — 9 days ago

So so good. This is an inspiration wine for me - I started making a wine as an homage to this style a couple of years ago. So happy I did. I love this expression of grenache - you get all of the fruit, with some nice earthiness but minimal tannins and just a lot of depth in what is inherently a “simple” wine. Love this bottling, love this producer. — 2 years ago

Maurizio Sòt is a superstar. This is a rockstar wine. Nose is so unique and aromatic. Red cherries, herbs, sweet roses, sweeter darker cherries, amazing perfume. The brilliance of 2016 Barolo at the village level is not talked about enough. Glorious spice after 15-18 minutes now. Just glorious. Oh the palate. Sweet and decadent and precise with super sappiness on the finish. Gorgeous red fruits, strawberry, even a hint of red delicious apple, and so many cherries. Amazing precision and depth. Big tannins ensure a long life. Classically structured. Excellent length and persistence. — 3 years ago

Really a lovely langhe Nebbiolo. Opened 6 hours before serving but no decant. With a slight chill it was delicious. Definitely recognizable as Nebbiolo, mouth filling in the right ways, excellent pairing with pork tenderloin with mustard/rosemary/fennel/garlic. — 15 days ago

Gorgeous as ever, at a dinner with the man himself at Brawn in London, all cuvées singing 🥳 — 5 months ago

Just the coolest wine. Citrus, cream, lime, so so aromatic. Grapefruit. Pink grapefruit. Lanolin. Smells like a bath and body store. Orange zest, white pepper and herbal! Palate is bone dry and structured with insane purity. Long finish that is grippy, herbal and elegant. Just a stunning wine. This is even better than the 19. Just so complex and has red wine character even though it’s a white wine. Super juicy and concentrated. This is magnificent! — 3 years ago

9.1

Classic CDP. 65 grenache, 20 syrah, 10 mourvedre, 5 cinsault. A little thin on the nose. Solid balance on the palate. On its own, this is solid. But with food, especially spicy food, this really shines. — 4 years ago

Wine #5 on Jean-Pierre Robinot Uncorked Vol. 1

Lovely, perfumed, and delicate bouquet of flowers, seawater, and peach. With time, it opens up and becomes sweeter on the nose. On the palate, it's round despite the high acidity, offering an interesting evolution with a touch of brine in the finish. Lively, electric, and delicious. It's like Gravonia mixed with Jacky Blot. A curious combination, but it needs more time in the bottle.

Super light with fragile raspberries and strawberries, pine needles. Pretty volatile but nothing too crazy. — 3 years ago
