Convento Barolo Nebbiolo 2017

2017 vintage. FLB fodder. Decanted and tasted after 15 mins, 45 mins and 1.25 hours. Medium body. Fairly muddy color. A parlor trick of rose petals and tar up front with a battle to the death, both mid and end palates, between chalk and dark chocolate. Chalk won. Not what I would call refined but made up for that with plenty of rusticity/old school/authenticity vibes. Apparently, I liked it more than anyone else here but a bonus .2 for the retro-stylings. Sorrynotsorry. 6.26.26. — 4 days ago

@Benjamin Keator had his hosting at the CC tonight and it was absolutely incredible. What a night of gorgeous wines! All wines are guessed blind.

This dessert wine is about the same age as my Dad. When you can associate a wine/vintage personally, it really opens your eyes to how wine can hold. This is undoubtedly Pedro Ximenez, which I guessed. It reminds me of a non-vintage port with a balsamic mix to it. Tons of black licorice, old brown sugar, and the aforementioned balsamic vinaigrette note. Incredible for the age.

Convento San Lorenzo

Vesper Rosso di Valtellina Nebbiolo 2021

Getting some oak/ alcohol on the nose, though oak really isn’t a valtellina thing. The mouth is light, fruit( cherry, tart wild berry) and some earthiness). Light tannins, very approachable wine. Had this with sausage risotto and was excellent. — 10 months ago

Muri-Gries Alto Adige - Südtirol Lagrein 2018

Very nice. It’s fairly simple. but dark fruit w maybe some licorice. Decent tannins. I would say a medium to med-lite body. Slightly flabby esp at finish. But decent balance. Good value. Really like these Italian mountain wines. (Very different review vs my first time!) — 6 years ago
