Like Chardonnay through a vintage View-Master. Hirsch giving me old school Cali vibes with an honest nod to Burgundy.

Despite the decade, high acid and oak seasoning in pastry like measurements. Opens up just barely into the tropicals - banana and mango - as little sprinkled hints in hazy rays of sepia sun and a Polaroid filter. — 3 years ago

Sepia filter courtesy of smoke filled skies here in Oakland. If the end of the world is coming we better get drinking. Let’s start with some regal Chasselas. Six years in the bottle this is starting to pick up some weight with hints of butterscotch on top of the lemongrass and citrus pith notes you’d expect from this stony little white. Quite delicious. — 6 years ago

The 2020 Barolo Prapò is a complex, beguiling wine that sizzles with Serralunga nuance. Graphite, scorched earth, lavender, sage, menthol and licorice meld into a core of sepia-toned fruit. This expressive Barolo has a ton to offer. Its mid-weight personality is a bit deceptive, but there is a lot of wine here. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024)

The 2015 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is dark and imposing on the palate, yet not quite as forbidding as it can be. A Barolo of size and heft, the 2015 has a lot to say, but it won't be ready to drink anytime soon. Black cherry, smoke, leather, iron, licorice, menthol and graphite notes infuse the 2015 with layers of nuance to complement its brooding, sepia-toned personality nicely. The 2015 is a beguiling Barolo, but it needs cellaring. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, November 2019) — 7 years ago

Color: pale as can be for a rose, a light bronzing or pink, the color of expensive jewelry, light catches a sepia tone elixir

Bouquet: Almost non-existent bouquet, very subtle roses and lemon rind

Notes: clear disarming color & liquid, exploding into a charismatic, unexpecting sweetness balanced with a perfect level of tartness. Blossoms into your taste buds with every sip, light carbonation, not overwhelming, a welcome flurry on the lips, freshly squeezed limes, green chartreuse, almost the make up of The Last Word cocktail. As the wine opens up, it tastes more and more like Georgia peaches.

Overall: date night with yourself or person of interest, drips of sensual energy, but don’t feel bad disappearing this on your own, pure liquid magic.

Shades of ruby slippers in sepia. Translucent, feminine, earthy - so stripped this verges on watery, but stiffens with volatile levels of acid and retains a sense of vitality. I loved this wine last year and remember it softer, more cohesive. In 2022 she's a little bit angular but it could very well be the time or the context. Salty cherries, dirty mushrooms, rosemary. — 4 years ago

Topaz with heavenly streamers stretching for perfection. Creamy head of structured perfection in terms of density and longevity. Perfect sheet of fog lacing falls like a slo-mo curtain to reveal layer two of mountain snows reflecting moonlight. Nose of bananas foster in all its blazing brandy and it’s caramelized olfactory topography; a malt image in sensory sepia to match the mountainscape. Nutmeg, cola and pecan dessert vies with baklava. The palate is a revelation in balance. The expected Belgian malt emerges in contrast to a dappled vanilla and Connecticut tobacco, pecan shell dryness, and chicory coffee before returning to a root tonic sweetness, and cardamom. #kwak #belgianspecialbeers #belgianale #belgianbeer #pauwelkwak #pauwelkwakbrewery #beer #bier #birra #biere #ale #ceveza #cerveja #belgium #belgian — 6 years ago

So 2015 presented above average growing conditions… So, this should be a pretty complete expression of this varietal. I am impressed with the taste of maturity from this terroir and old vines. Where I hold back in complete jubilation is this wind focus on savoriness. It had balance yet lacked that little pop of fruit “color”... sort of a sepia tint to the profile. I have more in the cellar and we will see how it develops. If I need a rustic wine, this is where I will go for Luca’s offering. — 8 years ago

Reminded me of a barrel aged sour beer. Pervasive but enjoyable funkiness to cut through acidity.

Paired with 3rd and best course of the night (swordfish, peach tapenade, baby eggplant, and chicory) at Sepia Chicago on 11.03.2017 — 9 years ago
