Poliphemo Riserva Viti Vecchie Taurasi Aglianico 2019

Tecce night with Mom! So great to have this again. Big, bold, rich, tannic Aglianico. Dark intense berries, volcanic and metallic with a complex earthy, herbal finish. A little floral, a little licorice. With tomato mozzarella gnocchi and chicken strips. — a month ago

Sauvignon

Bright ripe with a tang that reaches the way back sides of your tongue.

Smells of greens and yellows - Smokey green herbs and sliced yellow starfruit.

Has a fleshy, creamy texture sitting under sour tropical fruits - tastes like key lime pie and mango sorbet and candied Limoncello.

Domaine Denis Berthaut

Les Arvelets Fixin 1er Cru Pinot Noir 2013

I think Denis Berthaut's impact on Fixin is invaluable. He showed how an often overlooked terrior can produce truly elegant and transparent wines. This mantra and his mantle has been passed down to his very capable daughter, Amelie, and it's been up, up, up ever since. I'm a big fan of Amelie's wines!

2013 is Amelie's first vintage and her changes are clear - more oak, stems, and supposedly warmer ferments resulted in deeper, more complex wines. And it's constantly changing as she finds her stride. This is especially obvious in this cuvee.

The 13' Les Arvelets is a little richer than their newer iterations, which is reasonable given the difficult vintage - it was a late harvest due to the rain. Darker fruit, but crystal clear. The palate's really crunchy, pure fruit, herbal elements... think cincau... deep minerality, fine fine texture, lovely acidity. In a way like Serena Williams... There's a strong nearly brutal element, yet undeniably feminine (cliché I know but oh so true) and elegant. I do prefer more recent vintages of this vineyard, but this was excellent... Such a balanced wine!

I said it before and I'll say it again... Amelie's the next big thing, if not already one. The viti is more thoughtful than ever... Winemaking so detailed and smart. The sheer potential here... Especially with her mother's Gevry, Chambolle, and Vosne vineyards now under her sleeves... And her incredibly talented fiancé, Nicolas Faure, managing the domaine's vineyeards 🔝🔝🔝

Fun stuff, really enjoy Fixin, the herbal/earthy notes have always been attractive to me, more so than other regions.

Orvieto Classico - brilliant gold not quite as brilliant as the Neri.
Grechetto 50%, Procanico 40% and drupeggio verdello Malvasia 10%. On the nose, apple, peach and florals. On the palate, peach and heavy minerality.

Gadino Cellars

Antiche Viti Reserva Cabernet Franc 2019

First take: it’s a bit muddled and flabby….lacking crisp structure. It is young so I will test on day two. Day 2.5: impressively, air has brought this one to life! Clarity and articulation are now present. The character profile is still medium+ weighted fresh red/black cherry with a delicate green herby frame. What improved - the focus and clarity of the acidity. It broadened, thus mouthfeel improved. — 4 years ago

Vini Viti Vinci

La Croix Buteix Irancy Pinot Noir 2017

An especially salty, lean, Irancy with beautiful aromatics and concentration. Vauthier blurs the borders of Gang Beaujolais and Burgundy. The nose is both reductive and seductive - raspberries and strawberries, spiced orange with perfumed iodine. Big tannins from whole cluster Pinot - it could soften it edges but still enjoyed to the last of it. — 6 years ago

Asili Vecchie Viti Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2020

Bright Ruby with aromas of dark fruits, spices, oak and floral notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and sweet plum with notes of herb pepper, tobacco, cedar and cacao. Long finish, nice balance with fine soft tannins, ending with oak and earthy notes. Needs a few more years in the bottle! — 4 months ago
