Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2003

Spicy dried red fruits with a touch of tar underneath, I detect that this 2003 is a touch more structured and tannic than the great 2000 I had a few days ago, long finish, great acid, still quite fresh (plus 12.5% ABV), excellent!! — 22 days ago

Riserva Sant' Antonio Grumello Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2009

These are some of my favorite Mountain Nebbiolo. ArPePe actually ages the Riserva before releasing. — 2 months ago

Antonio Vallana e Figlio

Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2000

Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — 24 days ago

@Tom Casagrande, I agree, I haven’t seen these in the marketplace much, I just posted on a 2003, and also have a few bottles of 1996 Boca left. But, your quality assessment is spot on!!

Castillo de San Diego Palomino Fina 2021

8.9

ask the wine guy for something unusual, something off the beaten path and he recommends this delicious dry 100% Palomino w/some bottle age: definitely a food wine, light greenish straw color w/fairly austere nose full of minerals, lanolin, herbaceous musk, white flowers (jasmine), ginger & some spices. on palate it is rigid & angular, zesty acidity, some citrus but mostly minerals & herbs, quinine, screams for briny foods - we had this w/deli section fare & salad. — 4 months ago
