Fiamme Antiche Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2010

Very nice but have a sneaking suspicion this would have maybe been just a smidge better a couple years ago? Aromatically incredible, one of those wines you can just smell and smell. Quite high toned, floral, and red fruited on the nose, which carries through to the palate. Excellent acid. Tannins are just a whisper which makes this overall come off as lighter than I expected. Long finish and delicious. — 3 hours ago

Contrade di Taurasi (Cantine Lonardo)

Taurasi Aglianico 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2016 pours a deep purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with mostly dark fruit: black cherry, plum, purple flowers, animale and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Tasty stuff. Drink now through 2041. — 7 days ago

Marchesi di Barolo

Antiche Cantine Dei Marchesi Di Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Gorgeous bottle of ruby red shades and intense aromatics featuring vanilla, spices, rose petals, and nuts. Quite complex. Great medium+ body and strong acidic structure but with a refined weight and balance, it’s not overpowering but has a lot of character. Really good lingering finish. — 9 months ago

Baorna Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend

Good value Amarone from Costco. Pop and pour approachable. Not as dense as the best Amarone but has the nice clove spiciness, fig, and dried leaves slight tannins with a pleasant finish. Surprisingly there is a hint of ripe strawberry that is a softening agent. — 3 months ago
