Dragon Langhe Bianco Chardonnay Blend 2023

Pale straw yellow color with aromas of stone fruit, citrus and floral perfumed notes. On the palate flavors of apple and citrus with herbs and floral spice. Lively acidity, good balance and structure, medium+ finish ending with mineral character. Very Nice! — 2 months ago

Luigi Baudana (G.D. Vajra)

Serralunga d' Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

The 2020 “del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba” is a traditional blend of three MGAs from Serralunga: mostly younger vines from Baudana, Cerretta and now, some fruit from Costabella. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2020 pours a beautiful garnet with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with tart and ripe notes of Morello cherry, pomegranate, talcum powder, red roses, dry earth and old wood. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. I took the opportunity to enjoy this alongside the “Baudana” and this didn’t have the same elegance but it’s a very complete and balanced Barolo. Drink now through 2040. — a month ago

Basarin Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2014

Multiple bottles opened from the same source; all stored in ideal cellar conditions. The 2014 “Basarin” pours an almost turbid garnet color with an orange rim; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some light signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of bruised strawberries, a combination of dead and dried flowers, leather, mint and earth. Some VA. Showing some oxidation. On that palate, the wine is bone dry with medium+ tannin and high acid. Confirming the notes from the nose though I might add a slight Balsamic note. Medium finish. Despite presenting more advanced than I would expect, it came across fairly polished. This is my first experience with this producer so I’m curious if this is characteristic? This could also just be the 2014 vintage doing 2014 vintage things. If I had any of these, I would consider drinking them before 2029. — 2 months ago

Baudana Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three days and consistent throughout. The 2020 “Baudana” from the eponymous MGA pours a gorgeous, luminous garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with fabulous notes of fresh red roses, Morello cherry, dried herbs, Eastern spices, and dried earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and super elegant. My, my how I love the 2020 vintage in Barolo. They are so easy to enjoy in their youth ever so elegant. Drink now through 2040. — a month ago
