Toscana Merlot 2012

There really is something special with the mix of merlot and Italy. Round and smooth but with strong earthy kick. Enjoyed over several baseball games but best within first 2-3 hours. — 5 days ago

Villa Antinori Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2022

A gift from Malin. So much vanilla it tastes like a red and white chupa chup lollipop 🍭 and in a very good way. Hints of orange peel. Smooth but with a dry finish. — 13 days ago

Emidio Pepe

Montepulciano d'Abruzzo 2004

Showing so beautifully right now. Density and purity of dark berry fruit, olive wood smoke, sage and thyme notes. Terrific.  — 6 days ago

A bucket list wine for me; cheers

Marchesi de' Frescobaldi

Castelgiocondo Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Huge producer but all organic. Cranberry, cherry, orange peel, tobacco leaf, carob, perfect smidge of VA to keep things interesting. Ripe, tactile tannins. Touch hot at 14.5%. Drink or hold with or without food. I preferred the balance of this on day 2. — 11 hours ago

Arianna Occhipinti

Sicilia Il Frappato 2010

Large format, 15 years old…showing a little signs of age, but still spritely enough. A few years ago, this would’ve been in its prime — 9 days ago

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 1999

Medium deep garnet core , medium wide garnet rim . This shows very well still with some sous bois , dried herbal hints and cherry . On the palate this shows good freshness , red cherry again, freshly cut herbs , touch of tobacco and black tea . Balanced acidity and lightly dusty but resolved tannins . Good length and presence on the palate , with enough fruit still , good balance and a black tea stained finish. This is at peak , and will probably stay here for a few more years , so no immediate rush, but is unlikely to improve further . — 20 days ago

Tenuta San Guido

Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2013

Well. These vintages are becoming rarer and rarer now that Beyoncé and Jay Z popularize it. Plum, graphite, tobacco on the nose. Poised and elegant on the palate, with silky fruit, fine grain tannins and a minera edge to it 👌🏻 — 8 days ago
