2017 vintage, last tasted 6.26.26 (9.3). A little lighter (bodywise) and spicier this go-round. 11.13.26. — 13 hours ago

Crisp, very peachy, a little floral . Maybe white peach or mimosa? Nice acid but balanced. — 8 months ago

Fresh, tingly nose. Lots of bright fruit and a subtle almond note on the palate and a nice bitterish note on the finish — 10 months ago

A pretty nose. Tea, dried flowers, brown sugar, some treacle notes. On the palate fruit a little thin and tart. — 2 years ago

This was (is)...pretty damn divine. I literally stopped mid-conversation. Starts out with some pretty intense red fruitiness sitting in a pocket of rich earthy tobacco but then! It just evolves giving ya some ash, leather, notes of spearmint, rose petal here, a broken twig there all with this great long chewy finish. It’s like a goddamn stroll through through some majestic countryside where you stop and check out all those little details. — 6 years ago

Looks like a Barolo. Smells like a Barolo. Tastes like a Barolo. Needs a cantina though. This is how tannins should be in a wine. Barolo‘s are the Lebron James of wine for me. — 8 years ago

Dust, tar, dark cherry, white pepper, and anise on the nose. The same flavors come through on the palate with balsamic and fresh mushrooms emerging as well. Smooth and lush on the palate, and the tannins and acidity are beautifully balanced. Persistent finish but a little drying on the palate. Overall a pleasure to drink. I bet this will be great after a few years when those tertiary flavors are more developed. — 3 months ago

2020 vintage. Apparently, Brezza Giacomo e Figli is a certified organic producer in Barolo, known for crafting high-quality Barbera d'Alba Superiore. This was a well-structured Barbera I found best decanted for 30 minutes. Black fruit, herbs and white pepper on the nose. Medium body with notes of blackberry, tart cherry. and dried herbs and a play between moderate acidity and tannin with a exceptional medium length finish. This was perfect with pasta puttanesca and tuna and white bean salad. — 10 months ago

A bright noise of light dried rises and soft cherry with an ouch of acidity. Lovely and fresh still. Lively and complex. Very good. — 2 years ago

Don't like sweet wines but this is an exercise in restraint. Clean, uncloying sweetness, acidity, and flowery, bright aromas all balanced on a razors edge — 8 years ago

From magnum. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the make, the wine is developing with notes of cherry, cranberry, pomegranate, red flowers, licorice and a mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Well made. Drink now through 2036. — 7 months ago

2022 vintage. Medium heavy bod. Super-drinkable. Too drinkable. Needs some brakes but don’t foresee a brake job any time soon. — 8 months ago

Hi everyone! This is lovely (rare descriptor for me). Medium red brick color, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol but subtle. Nice acidity, and tannins make this absolutely drinkable right now-- 8/26/25 my 58th birthday, forgot to give everyone my new Miami address for bottled gifts 😜 . Certainly floral notes on both the nose and palate, but not rose, some cedar overtones, with an enjoyable minerality. It's lovely because it all comes together like a beautiful gift basket (pun not intended) that would impress a royal lady, but stand up proud for a gentleman. It will improve, but you don't have to let it!

Post Elsa checklist- gnarly drinking Sangiovese, nobile-tough. Always better day two. Elsa was a bit anticlimactic down in The Gulf Coast, so this got special attention; very disjointed on day 1, but reconstituted afterward; blackberries. Ready to rumble w Elsa on day 2-3, eh? @Severn Goodwin — 5 years ago

Quite fruity for a Barolo, with dark fruit dominant. Very nice structure with juicy, ripe tannins, nice balance, a sharp edge adds complexity. Already drinkable. — 7 years ago

I really enjoyed this. Very light in color and weight, super easy drinking and pairs with most anything. Red fruits with light tannins (aged in stainless steel, and bottled in the spring following harvest) and a nice finish. Get this by the case! SS — 8 years ago
