Barbera d'Asti 2022

Excellent. I definitely get the sour cherry. Fruit forward, big, smooth. I can’t believe the price point- would definitely get again, especially for $17 — 11 days ago

Vecchie Vigne Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

2016 vintage. Decanted with very little sediment and tasted over the course of 2.5 hours. Medium body. Initially, very tight. Opened up somewhat but never really gained the high ground. Oodles of dark fruit mixed with enough structure. Revisit in 4-5 years. 11.28.24. — 2 months ago

Haven’t tried this yet, but I would have expected more based on the rep of this cuvée, particularly in the ‘16 vintage. Needs time maybe.

PS Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2016

Elegant and lithe Brunello that still packs a flavour punch. Dark berries and leather...very diverse and pairable. There wont be many who dont like this wine🥳
Paired with black cod in miso butter, fondant potatoes and oven roasted tomatoes.

PS Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

Good time to drink! It has fruit, structure, tannins, earth and is well balanced. We opened 3 hours before drinking and then decanted for 90 minutes. Then it opened up nicely in the glass. Delish!

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Delicious with our rich mixed meat ragu. Gorgeous development of leather and mahogany notes but still some rich fruit left. Tannins there but integrated. — 4 months ago
