Comparing two top end Taurasi from Feudi di San Gregorio
The Rosamilia, coming across slightly heavier vs Fievo with dark plum, baked black cherry, a hint of cinnamon and the black volcanic minerality more pronounced. A hint of coffee dregs or very dark roasted espresso.
On the palate, slightly fuller than Fuevo, the pronounced yet juicy tannins and brilliant acidity. The dark spicy plums are on the forefront.
Brilliant depth & length, still a baby though.
Probably should wait longer than Fievo. Might need to dip into my 2016s instead. — 2 months ago
An absolutely incredible single vineyard Brunello from a landmark vintage. Dark ruby color with a slight brick rim. Aromas of forest floor, bramble fruit, tar and dried herbs. Flavors of black cherry, tobacco, black licorice and coffee. Long and luxurious finish and just enough velvety tannin to enhance and lengthen the experience. Medium-plus body and perfectly balanced acidity. Powerful, yet beautifully well structured. Still incredibly vibrant. Sangiovese at its finest! This wine has a personality all its own. Thanking Petey for making this incredible selection. Happy Birthday, Kase! — 19 days ago
An absolutely fantastic single vineyard Brunello. Dark ruby color with a slight brick colored fade on the rim. Fragrant aromas of red berries, tobacco, leather and purple flowers. Flavors of ripe red and black cherries, coffee, black licorice and minerals. Distinct note of forest floor on the long lasting and luxurious finish. Full bodied. Silky tannins and impeccable balance. Powerful, yet quite suave, polished and sophisticated. Aging beautifully and should continue to improve. Absolutely outstanding! Thank you Kase for the wonderful gift! — a month ago

Pungent, interesting wine. Crushed flowers, overly ripe plum, sour cherries, ripe raspberries, maybe bark. Astringent. Serious wine. Open this way in advance. — 25 days ago
