Roncaglie Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2016
Excellent with Prossimo Sunday gravy. Raspberry, earthiness, but smooth. Still bright with years to go. — 2 months ago
Mastrojanni (Poderi Loreto e San Pio)
Rosso di Montalcino Sangiovese 2020
Another excellent vintage! Bright ruby color. Aromas and flavors of crushed stone, ripe black cherry/currants, blackberry, plums, exotic spices, red and purple flowers, forest floor and balsamic vinegar. Long and savory finish. So complex. Ripe and tight tannins and well balanced acidity. Consistently excellent. — a month ago
Marchesi de' Frescobaldi
Benefizio Castello di Pomino Bianco Riserva Chardonnay 2021
This wine has a nice yellow tint and a nose that shows the restrained use of oak. The aromas also have an earthy salinity about them, with a fruity undercurrent draped in apple, almond and dried apricot notes. On the palate, there is a more noticeable oak effect, but still within reason. The mouthfeel is full, while the acidity is bracing. It is a savory wine which brings the fruit almost apologetically. Delicious, and a great match for dishes from seafood to chicken to pork. Anything with a creamy sauce will pair beautifully with the Benefizio Riserva. — 2 months ago

La Grinozza Vino Rosso Grignolino 2022

Azienda Agricola il Borghetto
Montigiano Sangiovese 2019
ショーンの弟子とも言えるティムマニングがエノロゴ。
キャンティクラシコでも2021が出回る感じなので、少しゆったり目の回転のようで、スクリューキャップなのだが、熟成香とまでは言わないまでも、少しこ熟れた感。
カリッとしたエレガンスというよりは、ふんわり柔らかなエレガンス。
全房発酵の有無は分からないが、あんまり感じない。
華やか。でもしっとり。上品。 — 3 months ago

Belated post from Mother’s Day dinner. This was in full splendor at 20 years old. It was ready and had many secondary notes intertwined with primary flavors of rose petals, leather, wood shavings, yes the tar was there but not as pronounced as I have found in younger Barolos from Conterno. A gem found in the cellar that I’m glad I didn’t wait another day to open. — a day ago
