2004 Le Macchiole Messorio Merlot. Lunch at Gucci w JW & AC. Decanted and served immediately. Should have decanted sooner. Took a while to open up. It was alright, but not as good as the bottled we’d had last week (‘90s vintage?) — 6 years ago

Light and bright.. superb with pizza.. Baroness very happy as I am... outside of football the Italians aren’t known for light.. this lad offers a maldini from with-a spark of flavours which can only be rivalled by the great ac Milan team of the 90s.. a mix which delivers happiness — 8 years ago

Wildcard. Prob my fav cuvée from Julien. Tasted aged even tho it’s a 21. Flowery quality to it, like roses, potpourri.

[2019 Vintage:] “A captivating, translucent ruby red hue. Even on the nose alone, there is already a suggestion of ripeness, yet it is utterly enveloped by fragrance: white flowers, grapefruit, cherry, even stony minerals. Really classy and effusive, replete with sapid pinot-esque flavours of enviable concentration. The vintage is quite magical here: all pure, palate-staining but also inexplicably airy in the mouth. The mouthfeel is silky, culminating in a persistent, gentle and thoroughly sweet-fruited long finish held together by an invisible frame. Like the ethereal cuvée Auguste, trails of crushed flower petals replicate and repeat on the lingering finish.” AC
“Guillot brings a unique perspective to gamay—not quite Burgundy, not yet Beaujolais—not only in his Mâcon Rouge and Mâcon-Cruzille, but the mysterious, radiant, field-blended Cuvée 910.” Jon Bonné — 3 years ago

Oak. Leather. Smoke (could also be the charcoal bbq, verdict is still out on where the smoke is coming from).

Big and complex.

Pungent fruity notes with loads of spiciness. Such an incredible nose! Beautiful melange of cherry, raspberry and baking spices. And bam. Fully flavored with loads of fruit, silky smooth, and light and easy finish. Incredibly well balanced and refined. My only complaint, although a small one, is the higher alcohol content is noticable and almost takes away from the elegance of the wine. If the AC were lowered a bit I'd have to say it was a nearly perfect wine. All that said, I have always loved brunellos and this is an amazing example. Definitely recommend! — 3 years ago

Slight oak aroma. Gentle and smooth soon after opening. Enough concentration. Mild tanning, slight acidic and spicy. Black berry and other fruits. 2015 in 2020. So it has good potential. 9.0+ 0.1 for its potential. Day2, aroma is much better with oak. Spiciness is much comfortable. Mid + body. @1690, Eva - XH, 200912-201022
Even in 2015, very smooth 2 hours after opening. Mid body’s concentration. Gentle and ample aroma. @1710, xiaduo - AC, 211103 — 6 years ago

A classical Tempranillo from Ribera. Elegant and a bit strict, 2014 from old vines seems still early to drink, could easily wait another couple of years. Offers full nose of black fruit, licorice, jam, touch of steel and coal on the palette. Tannins are plenty and silky. Asks for a good stake! — 8 years ago
