Lovely nose of spice, some plummy fruit, dark cherries and dark florals. Mostly roses. Juicy, sleek and has some big tannins but extraordinary fruit and depth. Very linear. Wow the minerality is really shining through here. Lovely opulence and roundness and well and the spice runs throughout. Almost a 9.5. Maybe with air. — 11 hours ago

@Pooneet K after a wine is 10 years old there are no great wines, only great bottles of wine.

@Lyle Fass not sure that really makes sense for a direct from cellar wine?

Just a stunning nose. Wow what aromas. Huge spice and florals. Cherries galore and unreal cigar box. I love 14. So so good. Palate is stunningly concentrated and so so silky. This is so elite. Amazingly long finish and such detail. So fresh and energetic. Ripe and juicy tannins and crazy spice throughout. Now with air this is so silky and so elegant. Wow. — 7 months ago

Been a bit over 4 years since I have had the. Nose is classic with tar, tobacco, ripe mid season cherries, really provocative spice notes, and some chestnut. Palate is ripe and minty with ripe but substantial tannins and not that much finesse which I hope will develop with air. Juicy and so clean but lacking some excitement. — 9 months ago

Riserva Lessona Nebbiolo 2012

Leather, pepper, dried cherry, crushed herbs and flowers. Nice succulent mid-palate immediately gives way to long and brisk acid and mineral tones — 2 years ago

Quarantadue 45 Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2016

Way too young - even with a 4 hour decant. But you can see this will be great. Actually with more air comes into balance. Really delicious and a perfect pairing with a Christmas strip roast. — 5 months ago

Cosentino Etna Rosso DOC Nerello Mascalese 2019

This is the “ San Teodoro” cuvée. 100% Nerello Mascalese. Light, fragrant, balanced. Interesting flavors of bright cherry and mineral. It’s hard to find nice, lighter reds, and I find myself frequently cooking things that call for a lighter red — 7 months ago

Quarantatre 43 Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2013

Nose: savory. Spice perfect lilacs. Violets. So perfect. Maybe a hint of age as it aerates.

Palate: perfect “sweet “ cherry fruit. Gorgeous silky licorice. Still fresh.

A truly magnificent wine.
