Curly Flat never fails to bring joy to my life. I recall tasting this vintage pre-release at the end of a long lunch on a brutally Victorian winter’s day just before Jeni kindly drove my partner and I to the airport (a story unto itself). I recall the striking vitality of the wine, a contrast to the perfumed ‘14 and more delicate, fine-boned ‘13. It’s no shy wallflower, for sure, with proper acid and structure and weight. That whole-bunch character comes through beautifully, without even a hint of unripe vegetal notes. This one coerces rather than seduces, but it’s nonetheless convincing. Happy to have another bottle or two stashed away, as there’s much more to come from this one. — 5 years ago

Had this at a Thai restaurant with JD, Rosie and her friend. I loved it! It was a little tart and a little sweet, but refreshing and delicious! — 7 years ago
Might be my new favorite. Tastes like concord meets Catawba. — 7 years ago
Very similar to the recent 2013, but with more roses. Again, much softer, less powerful than the Ravera and the Vigana Elena. $225 from WA. At home with Curly. — 4 months ago

Far, far better (now) than the 2017, or 2020. Comparable to the Ravera. Big rose hit as soon as it opens. A bargain at $100 from Winestar. Only one, sadly. At home with Curly. — 4 months ago
A fine Barolo from La Morra, with Curly, Garcias and Leone. 90 euros, — 10 months ago
The best Barolo at Da Fabiana, Bossolaschetto, Piedmonte with the three Cubans. 95 euros. Complex, big, quite elegant. However, the Langhe Nebbiolo last night might be better, forgive me. Curly really liked it. — 10 months ago
CM Houston or Rosie wine bar? — 5 years ago
Always such a killer rose and this year is a doozy. With boundless energy and freshness this is brilliant. Might like more than e and m rose now. Of courts so much less is made. Nose of fresh mid season cherries, some watermelon, citrus, florals, a sense of roundness and richness as well but leads to a palate that is so close to a red wine but still has rose credentials. Amazing chewy tannins and ridiculous freshness and energetic minerality. So dense and lithe. Amazingly building finish. Sweet Pinot fruit. Just terrific. — 6 years ago

Still playing catch up from weeks ago. Good classic pinot lines at the weightier end of things. Don’t think it’s improving anymore, but may hold for a few years. — 19 days ago
