Trentaquattro 34 Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

9.0

Nice Barolo overall, but was a bit under expectations. Decanted 4 hours after trying it when first open. Definitely on the refined side (in a nice way), with a good core of minerality through the wine. Grippy without being too tannic, but overall it’s just lacking some oomph in depth and profile. — a day ago

North Coast Brut Rosé Blend 2017

Sipping Fine Wine

9.0

A blend of about 66% Pinot Noir and 34% Chardonnay, light Salmon color with aromas of berry and citrus fruits with floral notes on soft mousse. On the palate flavors of strawberry and raspberry, creamy with lemon citrus texture. Youthful, lively acidity, long finish ending with yeasty spice and mineral notes. — 8 months ago

@Turd Ferguson when we lived in the sticks the only good Italian wine I could get was Vajra and Vietti and I think Vajra smokes Vietti for the same money.

That’s so funny I started typing Vajra >> Vietti in my comment above but stopped to keep it concise. To be honest Vietti might be the most overrated winery in Piemonte. I’ve tried many of their wines and I’m always like ehh

Birthday dinner @ Nectar.

2nd choice as first bottle wasn’t in stock. PnP. Red color with some bricking. Lovely floral, earthy, and unique nose. Palate was fairly muted but this needs a decant. Medium depth and finish. Decent restaurant list value. — 7 months ago
