In a professional degustation anywhere in this world I would give him a good 8.8.

But here, in Mondolfo/Marche, Osteria El Gatt, seafruit plate on the table, almost empty beach-view given by the Corona-effect....and with my smiling girl-friend in front of me....it’s a 10!

Let’s compromise on a 9.3! — 4 years ago

It’s still lives! So surprised that this was still kicking, with a nice acidity and smoky meatiness on the palate, with hints of marinated cherry (in like, brandy), tar, and the color of Port! The nose still notes of fruit even, with plum, smoke, spice, and Tiva says, “an old movie theatre, or magician’s room”. After a couple hours, the ripe red fruits were exploding out of the glass still, with velvet and even florals hinted on the acidic palate. The meaty, iron flavors lingerrrr. — 7 months ago

Cherry beef jerky, standing outside a leather shop, lavender and hints of five spice powder on the nose. Very soft, smooth, and polished mouthfeel, thick but subtle legs with kirsch, amaretto, blood orange with under layer of summer berry compote and hints of five spice powder comes out on a long finish at the end. Really really nice. — 3 years ago

Too bad I still can't smell anything after corona... Palate is impressive, great structure, concentration and long full of iron finish! — 3 years ago

This 2010 Piazzo Comm. Armando Barolo Nebbiolo. From Alba, Italy I opened about a week ago.

On the nose there was cherry, plum sauce, strawberry, raisins, truffles, violets, balsamic and leather.

On the palate there was strawberry, raspberry, cranberry, spice, herbaceous, leather and clay minerality.

This wine was medium to full bodied, medium to medium + acidity, medium + fine mouthcoating grippy firm tannins that moved to a long rrd fruit clay soil finish. I hope everyone has been doing well and your weekend has been one of relaxation and fun. Please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 9 months ago

Sept 2020 $? (~15-20?) at Norman’s. Color: garnet with corona of raisiny brown. Open about 30 min and... fine. Not sweet, good tannins in mouth, no linger. Unremarkable and goes down easily. After bottle open about 90 min, more spice and edge, classic yet not complex (at all) Pinot flavor. Alc %14.5 but does not land as a “strong” wine. No actual negatives but would only buy ‘16 again for $8 or less. High rating b/c so very easy to drink. — 3 years ago

An orange shade reminiscent of the sun’s corona.

Just a pretty bouquet. The sweetness of a rose, the citrus of orange peel, the greenery of basil, parsley, and mint. Honeycomb and a hillside breeze.

Slight effervescence. Dry. Still as juicy as a plump, fresh orange. The afternote of grapefruit lingers along with honey. — 4 years ago
