Second time with this wine. Such a gorgeous color. This might be the perfect intro to orange wine. Not too funky, classic profile, good acidity. — 2 months ago

Love these wines! Always so incredible to have such a balance of racy energy with a simultaneous oxidative complexity. — 3 months ago

Had very tough competition on the table but I knew many of my guests had never tried. A powerful wine balanced by its acidity. A great floral nose that becomes stone and orchard fruits in the mouth .
A baby and like many other bottles on the table , super balanced. Served it blind and all participants enjoyed but laughed at the current market price — 8 months ago

Really pure and light and lifted. Soft floral notes and a steely spine underpinning it. Long and tense and perfectly balanced with a purity and deftness that is gorgeous. The best 96 I’ve had from them. — a month ago

En D-Magnum. My ‘Private Label’ cabs are still showing well. 😎. 1992 Mag and ‘99 750 are a step behind, but still very good. — 3 months ago

1998 | Red Blend

Quite vegetal and austere after a few hours of decant, couldn't drink it. Shuffled aside, after almost two weeks it finally shed its mortal coil and reminded us of the beauty of Tapestry. Our finale of the BV 1998's in the cellar. — 3 months ago

White stonefruits, citrus and an underlying green note, some oak as well, medium-bodied and really shows the dominant Semillon with mineral and oily, viscous notes as well, this is a really fine dry Sauternes!! — 2 months ago

The “V.S. Caterina” is a single vineyard located in the southern most portion of the Lazzarito MGA, in Serralunga d’Alba. This is considered a monopole of sorts since Guido Porro is the sole producer from this vineyard. Geographically speaking, the holdings are ideal with great southwestern exposure, located close to the village of Lazzarito and right next to Vietti’s holdings.

Popped and poured; enjoyed over a period that lasted a couple of hours. The 2015 pours a bright, reflective ruby color with some hits of garnet towards the rim and a transparent core. Medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and no signs of sediment. On the nose, ripe cherries, strawberries, loads of roses, dried green herbs, and gravely earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and savory. Superb balance. I didn’t buy many 2015’s from Barolo or Barbaresco because I didn’t really like them on release and they didn’t seem to have structure to carry the day. And while the latter may yet be true for extended aging, the 2015’s have been strutting their stuff over the last year, showing off all their solar glory. Drink now and over the next 7 years with ease. — 4 months ago
