Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Trader Joe’s. Long gone! For 15$ quite good! This is the 2019 - one of the best vintages in Piedmont. So - in this case even lousy cheapo wineries made great wine. Tastes like 40$. Roses, super astringent, violets. Hint Eucalyptus. A little rough: Bought a case most gone should have bought 2 - will age the last 3 bottles just out of curiosity - could go another 5-10 years. Thanks Scott for this find!!! — 7 days ago

@Pinotman /// Andreas Aaaargh!! Was at Trader Joe’s a few hours ago browsing. They still have the 2020 edition but guess who rifled through all 24 bottles on display looking for a bottle of the 2019? No dice. They rotate stock waay better than your average bear/grocery store. Enjoy!!

Rocca di Montegrossi

San Marcellino Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Sangiovese 2017

Medium ruby , medium ruby garnet rim . Quite aromatic , cedar, red cherry , cut herbs , and a slight meaty , soy , balsamic touch . On the palate quite lean red fruits and some dark cherry , blackberry , cedar , liquorice with a herbal tinge . Gritty tannin , quite high acidity . Slightly short and lean on the finish . This is drinking at peak now , doesn’t have the structure or density to last so would recommend to drink over the next 3-5 years . — a day ago
