Ginestra Casa Maté Barolo Nebbiolo 2010
A nice wine though I don’t see this being really interesting. More on the simple side. — 6 months ago

A quick CV tasting with Margaret L on her return trip stopover. Excellent example with lively and softish textures and long finish. — 22 days ago

Vigna Martina Barbera d'Alba 2016
Popped and poured; consumed over a few hours. The 2016 Barbera "Vigna Martina" is deep, dark ruby with an almost impenetrable core. More than ample in the fruit department with all the dark berries. However, it's got enough of the non-fruits: the inorganic earth, purple flowers, some herbs and spices, to leave one in no doubt of its origin. This is certainly one of the more polished versions of Barbera. As for longevity, even at 6 years post vintage, this seemed fairly primary. That being said and based off my experiences with Barbera in this category, I expect the secondary characteristics of leather to begin emerging in the next couple of years. Tasty now and should continue to reward through 2030. — 6 months ago

Vallegrande Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Stephen Stone
Very good, especially at the price (21.99 P&P). Cherry, menthol, clove…big and bold. Soft tannins, long finish. Enjoyed with fresh baked sourdough bread and creamy cauliflower /potato soup (ty Roosters) and Taralli crackers with pesto goat cheese). — a month ago
