One of the finest Vosnes we had in a couple of years. Very asian spices and floral, dark cherries, elegant and bold same time, medium bodied with excellent length. Great tension. Top notch stuff. — 16 days ago

A fresh and vibrant Montepulciano, the 2019 Rosso shows pretty violets, wild strawberries and wet stone. Soft and fleshy in feel, yet energized by brilliant acidity, the 2019 tapers off with a twang of minerality. Enjoy it with a slight chill for maximum effect. $25.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021) — 8 days ago

This captivating Pecorino shows a bouquet of candied ginger with dusty florals, wild herbs, incense and crushed green apple. Silky and rich, yet balanced by stimulating acids and mineral-tinged orchard fruits, it tapers off spicy with a hint of sour melon that keeps the palate wanting more. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021) — 20 hours ago

I fondly recall selling this wine during 2009/2010. Properly stored bottles will drink extremely well through the decade.

“2001
Le Chiuse
Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Eric Guido
Drink: 2021 - 2030
Tasted: Mar 2021
The 2001 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is slightly darker in color yet just as vibrant as the Annata sitting beside it. The Riserva blossoms with autumnal spices, tobacco and florals, giving way to a display of bright strawberry with flowery undergrowth. It’s enveloping and soft upon entry, with stimulating acids and tart red fruits that create a push-and-pull of sweet and sour, coming across as zesty and full of energy. Fresh cherry pits, licorice and inner rose linger over a nuanced layer of tannin. This gorgeous wine of tension is on the verge of peaking, with many, many years of pleasurable drinking in store for us. I can sit with this for hours. Sampled from the winery cellar.” — 9 days ago

9.1

Absolutely insane flavor, balance and value. Reminds us of a cross between Hirsch and Mount Eden. $17 at Costco is unbelievable for this. Will buy more for sure. As it warmed up, a tiny too much banana/ripe-ish fruit, so lowered the rating one point. — a month ago

Fabulous grower juice for hotpot night. Aromatics on point, great acidity & mousse, mid-palate is fruit fruit fruit. Medium finish. The aromatics bring this a cut above. #rodez — a month ago
