Tre Vigne Dolcetto d'Alba 2022

Some blackberry, Smokey notes, so soft in the mouth. Went very well with risotto and sausage. I have to think that’s the pairing in Piedmont for most people. The average Italian there ain’t drinking Barbaresco every night. — 8 days ago

Pian delle Vigne Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese

9.6

Tawny coloration with the slightest bit of transparency. On the nose, cherry, currants, plum, forest floor, sweet tobacco and florals. On the palate, full body, cherry, plum, spice, leather, sweet tobacco, earth/dust/minerals, tannins strong and chewy. Long finish of chocolate and sweet berry. Layered and complex wine. — 10 days ago

Vigne Vecchie Sicilia Nerello Mascalese 2015

Fine Etna Rosso, volcanic minerals, herbs, full, smooth. — 23 days ago

Roy Piper

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Great fruit even at this age. The only issue I had besides the slight bell pepper is how rough the tannins were and the coconut on the nose. American oak? Not something i’d think Roy would use. — 2 months ago

Domaine Marc Roy

Clos Prieur Gevrey-Chambertin Pinot Noir 2005

A little farmyardy on opening, but still some pleasure in this forgotten oldie from the cellar when it opened up… — 25 days ago
