Nose: Dark fruit aromas lead the way with notes of black cherry, ripe plum, licorice, and subtle spice.
Palate: Big and bold with vibrant acidity and firm tannic structure. Layers of cherry and dark fruit carry through a long, persistent finish. Very well rounded with impressive depth and balance.
Overall: Structured yet approachable. Shows strong aging potential and should evolve nicely over the coming years. — 6 months ago

Beautiful big Barolo! Full body, well structured & very smooth. Nice on a cold December Saturday night in Palo Alto! — 2 years ago
Hint of peppermint on the nose rolls back to reveal wormwood and roses, chocolate ganache, rhubarb, and dried grapefruit peel. Velvety and complex, with peppercorn, red apple peel, cinnamon dust, dried rose petal, dried violet, and roobios tea.

The 2021 Mazèr Valtellina Superiore DOCG 2021 from Valtellina pours a bright garnet and opens with lifted aromas of red currant, cranberry, rhubarb, and orange peel layered with subtle notes of anise, cedar, and alpine herbs. On the palate it’s medium-bodied and elegant, with lively acidity and firm, chalky tannins that frame flavors of tart red berries, licorice, and a touch of earth and spice. The finish is savory and mineral-driven, showing the cool alpine character of 100% Nebbiolo (locally called Chiavennasca) with a clean, persistent structure that should continue to evolve nicely over the next several years. 🍷  — 8 months ago
Rainier cherry, orange peel, plum skin, fennel, and...green apple? Fresh and high acid with firm grip. Nice single vineyard Nebbiolo. — 7 years ago

Classic barilo. Slightly dry on the palate. Colour Turning slightly towards brick. Nose: forest floor and a whiff of loam and hickory. Loads of tannin albeit slight dry and a bit more focused on the front of the palate Medium long finish. Very enjoyable — a month ago
