It took me 10 minutes to remove the cork but I was able to extract it largely intact…and it was gnarly. Completely saturated. In fact, it oozed the moment I pierced the cork with the worm. A producer I have no previous experience so no context. The color is garnet/orange with all the sediment and opaque as a result. So much earth, mushrooms, teriyaki, toasted coconut, wood, nuts and leather but there is fruit there too! Desiccated red and dark fruits; deep and dark. There’s tannin, still but it all integrated. The acid is a gorgeous girdle. The finish is long, mature and complex. Drink now? But considering it’s lived this long, it will probably continue to last. For how long? Who knows. A lovely surprise.

This robust Sangiovese is a nearly-perfect food wine. It’s big and fruity, smooth bodied and easy drinking. Predominant flavors are bright cherries and pepper. We enjoyed it with hand-cut pappardelle with Calabrian chile-tomato sauce & kale. — 10 months ago

Light bodied yet highly tannic Rioja. Personally, I expect Rioja to be at least medium bodied but very drinkable. — 2 years ago

It was so fun to try this Gamay (French grape) from the Vallee dAoste alpine region of Italy. I love Piemonte Nebbiolo and found this neighboring Gamay super bright and juicy. The terroir shines through, with pronounced high altitude and herbal flavors. — 3 months ago
