Cette Main Légèrement Serrée M'a Laissé Perplexe Carignan Chardonnay

Completely awesome; one of the best wines we’ve had in the last year or two. Hits the funky carignan flavors that made us fall in love with natural wine in the first place—but the chardonnay blending takes it to a different, lighter and surprising territory. Drank at the bar at Ops, and then a bottle at the dinnertable, with Ari, Evan and Diana (who had just arrived via Revel scooter, “Love Island” Britishisms in tow). Bushwick (Ridgewood?), NY, July 15, 2019. — 5 years ago

Carema Nebbiolo 2018

Lyle Fass
9.6

This is a super star wine. I am blown away. Nose is super pure strawberry like young Giacosa. Insane and vivid spices. Unreal earthiness and minerality. Like a loamy character. Wow. So many roses. Just insane. So so stunning. Tree bark but sweet? 9.7 nose? I think so. It’s so deep, layered and just ethereal. The strawberry is just so insane and detailed. Palate is gorgeous and loaded with sweet fruit and so much sap. Fierce tannins and an incredible finish that doesn’t quit. So balanced and super pure. Killer inner mouth aromas. Unreal fruit, energy and structure but also lithe and elegant. This is also unapologetically old school. This is like is Burlotto made Carema. Really spectacular creaminess as well with just incredible energy and length. This is a baby but will age 30+ years and needs maybe 10. The length is just insane. Let’s see what air does. 9.5 for now but with room for improvement. This has crazy crazy acidity and freshness but is buffered by amazing fruit.

This improved for 3 days. Fruit got more concentrated and ethereal. So juicy and complex and amazing saturation and length. If Arpepe and Rocche de Bar ari collaborated in Carema is what this wine is like. 9.5 to 9.6 over 3 days.
