Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2016

Holy balls! I need more nostrils to smell this. Brooding with game, bramble, and coffee grounds. Palate is slick but well concentrated with weight and tannin that linger spectacularly. Not cheap. — a month ago

Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. As befitting the vintage in the region, this is waay more approachable than you would suspect. Ripe and daresay, opulent. That is not a word I've ever pulled out of the quiver regarding Barolo but certainly appropriate in this case. Heavy body. Texture is unfined and unfiltered but didn't confirm/inquire when tasting. Big, fruity nose. Had this been in a blind tasting, woulda gone down swinging positing this as a Brunello. Absolutely delicious but definitely atypical. So extreme that it's hard to predict how this will age. 7-10 years could find this dropping all the ornamental fruit/body and getting down to expected Barolo biz or could slowly thin out and hold onto those California fruit bomb vestiges. $120 a bottle resto cost. 02.07.25. — 15 days ago

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

2007 vintage drinking very well - was almost ready out of the bottle but improved with a few hours in the decanter. Wonderful red fruit on the palate with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. Alcohol was slightly perceptible. This is in a good place and seems unlikely to improve much, but nowhere near a state of decline. Fruit is still quite primary with nice acidity — 2 months ago

Via Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

2020 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. The "safe spot" in the current lineup. Verry approachable vintage for Barolo and this effort comes the closest to upholding usual expectations. Medium body. Some earth/dirt. Fruit apparent but not nearly the oodles cascading over the infinity juice pool as from this producer's 2020 Cannubi or Mosconi efforts. Structure solidly in place. Delicious. $80 resto cost. 02.07.25. — 15 days ago

Mint is correct. Red fruit and earth and gentle oak. High acidity. Super food friendly. One of the best. 2004 but feels young! — 2 months ago
