Just awesome. Big and tannic but so elegant. More formal notes later. A beast. Needed a day and now it’s so juicy and full of red and black fruits. A beast but a sexy one. — 10 days ago

Proclamo Cilento Aglianico 2015

Nose has a bit of poop. Mostly blows off with air.

Palate is grippy blackberry fruit. Quite young.

Let’s see where this goes

As it opens sort of an Aglianico version of good dolcetto. Sweet fruit. Great spice. Not super complex.

Il Sarone Red Blend 2019

L'odore è come un tramonto nella gola delle montagne, e il sapore è come la carezza del vento marino costiero. L'ho provato solo un po 'finora. Cosa succederà quando berrò un paio di bicchieri di questo meraviglioso vino? Sono entusiasta, anche se sospetto che sia tutto perché sono di ottimo umore. ❤️ — 4 years ago

Gorgeous vintage of this. Honeyed nose with superb sea air minerality. Palate is rich and dense with terrific shape and texture. Intense minerality and great concentration. Tactile depth. Needs some air and that 14.5% does peek through which is not thrilling me. Let’s see. — 14 days ago

A really nice full bodied wine. Mellowed with the evening. Mineral and deep red cherry. Great deal! — 2 years ago

Prunotto

Cantina S. Cassiano Riserva Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1967

1967; 3H Decant.

Nose has dried roses, tar, dried orange peel, dried Bing cherries, wet leather, moist leaves and shaved dark chocolate.

Palate has dehydrated tart cherry, dried orange zest, moist garden soil, sweet cherry notes, medium tannins and light acidity remains.

Evolving and expanding with each sip, complex flavors continue to reveal, not slowing down at all.

A truly exceptional bottle of wine. Made by Beppe Coppa, one of the greatest Lange winemakers. A powerful vintage according to my trusted source on old Italian wine.

@Pooneet K @Ron R We try to open the classy stuff now and then, can't appreciate a bottle that still has a cork in it.

Fantastic. Such a solid red. Approachable. Bright with berry but with that volcanic edge. — 8 months ago

Paestum Piedirosso 2019

Nose is spice and green pepper. Pepper goes away with air. Replaced by black pepper.

Palate is huge hit of spice. Incredibly fresh hand crushed wild blackberries. Super delicious. Amazing silky texture. Spice integrates with air. Amazing entry level wine. More perfect mid season cherry with air. Cherry pit as well.

Long cherry finish.
