Cortona Syrah 2020

Vintage 2020 | My goodness, this mocca bomb is terrific! Compelling smell with wagonloads of mocca, but also black pepper, milkchocolate, cedar and vanilla. The taste is velvety with soft tannins that do not disturb. Drink it now. Did not know that Tuscan Syrah could be this good. Paired with zucchini tarts and a deer burger. — a year ago

'BRICCO LAGO' LANGHE NEBBIOLO 2023

Nice langhe Nebbiolo but not sure I would get again for the price premium vs others. One to try with some more age at the very least. — 4 months ago

Envinate

Táganan Vinos Atlánticos Red Blend 2018

An airy, effusive and downright beautiful wine is the 2018 Taganan from the Tenerife Envínate property of modernist Spanish winemakers Laura Ramos, Jose Martínez, Roberto Santana and Alfonso Torrente. Created from 100-200 year old vines on volcanic soils, it’s a delicate, restrained wine with a gorgeous, smoky bouquet of sour cherry, strawberries and Provençal herbs; the palate, meanwhile, is saturated with very fine tannins, almost imperceptible acidity and nice length. Served lightly chilled, this is an exciting wine which should gain further interest with age. — 4 years ago

The Fableist

Cane and Fable 395 Paso Robles Merlot

Riserva Montefico Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2015

Bellísimo! Eucalyptus gave way to lavender and cocoa. Tightly wound cherry with long tannic finish. Had with frito misto, gnocchi pomodoro, margherita pizza and herb rack of lamb at Casa di Don Alfonso. First indoor meal in >1 year. Was like riding a bike. — 5 years ago
