Mineral lean. Almost thin. But delicious concrete and flint. Last year for this vintage I think — 2 months ago
Coffee and chocolate on top of dark cherries. Nice spice but not as intense as some Amarones I’ve tasted. Very good with our Nana’s Gravy with braised short ribs and tagliatelle — 12 days ago
At Moore Brothers tasting of Piemonte with Fung and Mary 1/25/25. Classically styled with balance and grippy texture and tannins. Will age nicely. — a month ago

Opened and decanted two hours prior to service; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 1997 “Vigneto Brich Ronchi” pours a deep, hazy garnet color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated black and red fruits: Blackberry, Morello cherry, bruised strawberry, dried roses, tar, leather, potting soil, and subtle warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. The finish is long and savory. This is in a lovely spot. Drink now through 2027. — 17 hours ago
