Dei bei fruttini rossi danno il benvenuto al naso svelando il varietale del vitigno, poi il terroir viene fuori e piano piano prende il sopravvento ed il vino acquista una struttura importante pur non perdendo in bevibilita'. Buono

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2004

Not every day you get to drink a 22 year old wine. This Rioja had all the aging characteristics. Wide orange ora around the rim, oak, earth and cigar infused with dried fruit (that way, not the other way around). The oak was still so strong, I can only imagine how it would have been upon first release. It had lots of uplift g vibrancy and the layers of complexity made it a real interesting wine. — 7 months ago

Terra Calabria Magliocco Greco Nero

Wonderful funky Italian but you gotta let it open up or the alcohol cuts you. Mellows into dirty fruit. Bought at BP. — 3 years ago

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

This is actually the Reserva. 75% Tempranillo and 25% Garnacha blend. Bold aromas and flavors of black berry, black licorice, cedar, earth and tobacco. Broad and generous texture. Moderate acidity. There is still muscular (yet dusty) tannin present. A pretty short, but oak oak dominant, finish. Thank You Ron B! Revisited in March 2023. Above notes still apply. — 4 years ago

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2010

I thought this was one of the best 2010s poured at Benvenuto Brunello in San Francisco. Great fruit and balance. This has enough acid and tannin to age but was pretty tasty at this pre-release tasting. This should be available in the US by March. If you see a pre-buy offer grab it. — 11 years ago
