Long finish on this. 2019. Black fruit. Tannic. I do get pomegranate. High acidity. One of my favs. — 25 days ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Delicious with our rich mixed meat ragu. Gorgeous development of leather and mahogany notes but still some rich fruit left. Tannins there but integrated. — 3 months ago

5 Stelle Sfursat di Valtellina Nebbiolo 2010

Senses immediately overloaded, in a good way, with a bouquet of lavender tea, smoked cherrywood, tobacco, cedar, vanilla, and as someone here astutely observed, Alpine herbs. Buried underneath that is wild mushroom, wild raspberries, and cherries. Lasting nice finish, though a bit heavy on the alcohol compared to its southern nebbiolo cousins, but given the sforzato Amarone-like production process, this makes senses. One of the finest reds I've had in some time, certainly on par or better than the other nebbiolo I've tasted.

Better yet, I scored this for a steal of a price at a local Total Wine who either thought this was too old or didn't know what they had.
