@Delectable Wine Not the Ravera. The Langhe Nebbiolo. — 10 days ago
Wine prices in Tokyo tend to be expensive but this was about $200 AUD. Probably sounds dear but when you’re here that’s not too bad. Medium crimson in colour. Just medium bodied - red fruited with cherry, strawberry and earthy silty notes. On the palate went well with a Grade 4 Waygu steak which was very expensive but it was a good match. All very satisfying. From a good vintage in Piedmont. The photo is from the Delectable library but the vintage we had was 2016. — 3 months ago
An elevated Barolo, striking light, appealing land radiant ruby color. The bouquet has an overtone of greenness with hints of mountain Forrest and dried leaves. All nuances (nose and palate) are driven on Rose and tart, yet for a 2019 remains fresh and vibrant on dark cherries and red fruit, some tobacco leaves and spices as well. Beautifully structured, incredibly balanced between its acidity and tannins. It shows its potential 120mins after opening. It has to breathe a lot. — 2 months ago
Been 2 years and wow is this a stunner. Nose is gorgeous with mashed roses, tobacco, cigar, spice and other florals. Some rich cherry fruit as well. Red all the way. Really perfumed and aromatic. Just stunning. Palate is rich and deep with awesome freshness and cut and such velvety and sweet tannins. Unreal finish and delicacy. Terrific clarity and purity of fruit. Tannins getting bigger with air but it’s so gorgeous and balanced. Amazing length to the finish. — 7 months ago

Dark Mahogany with brown hues. Nose of smoke and tobacco. Hefty but soft tannins. Cherry, iodine, nice long finish. Made a meat sauce for it. Decanted for 3 hours. Almost no sediment. — 16 days ago
