Vignavillej Dolcetto d'Alba 2022

No formal notes. Some dolcettos are fun loving, gum chewing kids; this is decidedly not, more like a middle aged professional going out for a joy ride. Which is to say: more emphasis on the black fruited, darker dimensions of this varietal. . Still more about the fruit & grip, absolutely feather like tannins if any, & joyful. — 14 days ago

Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 1999

9.6

Not very often do I post European wines. I do drink them from time to time but so much to explore in California! 1999 “Unico” brought by master sommelier Jay Fletchers to Cache Cache in Aspen. Richness and restraint with a deep almost coffee-like intensity. — 2 days ago

Conca Tre Pile Barbera d'Alba 2021

2021 vintage. A bit of everything. Esteemed producer. Excellent nose. Front-palate richness. Mid-palate power and presence. Pleasantly astringent and beyond substantial finish. I usually eschew Barbera d'Alba for the resto list but couldn't deny this one. Picked up two cases and may pick up more to have laying around for 1.5-2 years. At the ridiculous resto price of $26.67, I can't afford not to. So delicious. 01.29.25. — a month ago
