Prachiosso Roero Nebbiolo 2019

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!

Surprised to find this, was CVed! Drinking great, shocking fresh and lifted profile, 27 years and it’s alive and kicking strong in a major way. It actually went well with Evan’s sushi bake of salmon and crab! Who’d guess! — 8 months ago

Thanks! Continued to be surprised by how good it is after so many years. Alas this is probably the last bottle.

This is the Riserva.

Asian pear, peach, green apple with light white floral note. A bit herbaceous as well. Fresh acidity carries the polished medium body well. Hint of graphite emerges on the finish.

Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2011

Beautiful plum red color, medium acidity, medium tannins, aromas of oak, flavors of ripe plum, tobacco.
First taste right when I opened the bottle was delicious as the wine opened up it became more layered and interesting. Would buy again.

This bottle was right in the zone, compared to a very youthful bottle last year. Well balanced, soft and round. I would drink my other bottles in the coming two/three years. — 4 months ago

That whole spread looks great! I'm decanting a Brunello at the moment. Getting impatient 😅

Non Filtrato Arneis 2018

This does not taste how it looks. Much tamer than what you’d expect from yeasty slugs swimming around unsupervised in a haze. Silvery green almondy notes and candied banana Runtz (remember those?). Also lemon, green apple. Strong acid but far from vinegar. Powerfully potent at 13.5%. — 6 years ago
