I’ve tasted thousands of wines over the years. I’ve never had one that tasted like this. In a good way. This is unusual. Really distinct. Peppers. All sorts of peppers. Fresh bell peppers. Exotic black pepper. Even the flavor of mild chili peppers (without the heat). And fruits I am not sure how to describe. And herbs, oregano, rosemary. Wow. — 7 days ago

Dificil a ciegas decir que es un pinot origin, Macerado con la cáscara, el color es casi un rosé. Muy bueno — 3 months ago

Black fruits galore with huge granitic expression. Super mineral, earthy and clean, with major concentration and real freshness. So alive and energetic, the fruit has incredible vigor. Has that classic ashy Cornas thing. From 6 different plots, with granite and some limestone. Fantastic. — 5 months ago

vintage 2024 | Single vineyard, 60-80 y old vines, production 5000 bottles. 16-18 m barrel aging. Great structure, but if you have it in the cellar… keep it there 3-5 years. Too tannic now. — 8 days ago

from the slopes of Sicily’s Mt Etna. Fruity, flavorful, balanced, and well structured, with a long lasting finish. Excellent with tonight’s roasted Halibut. — 7 months ago

Great to have an Etna wine from time to time. I have read in the past that this is like an Italian Burgundy and I agree in many respects. Medium weight, earthy with bags of minerality, ultra savoury with a lovely red fruited perfume. 100% Nerello Mascalese. We have fond memories of visiting Sicily (including Etna) approx 7 or 8 years ago with Peter Scudamore-Smith MW. — 2 months ago

Etna: Poured into a decanter about an hour prior to service; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2021 pours a deep garnet color with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears and some fine sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with Bing cherry, Asian five spice, porchini, oregano, crushed gravel and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Another stunner from this incredible, own-rooted parcel in the Calderara Sottana contrada featuring vines over 140 years old. Insane. Drink now with some air and through 2041. — 4 months ago

Best red if the trip, a Franchetti from Pascopissciaro, a round bodied nerello mascalese from the cellar at Cave Ox in Solicchiata on the north slope of Etna. Would be even better with a few years — 7 months ago

Got ahold of three of these allocated babies that get sold out every year by spring.

Volcanic must, spicy berries on the nose.

Wohooo what a mouth punch. Prickly on the tongue. Bracing acidity balanced with an earthy, breezy cherry and berry medley. An herbaceous, mint-adjacent undercurrent as well.

Both stunning, subtle in its way, and stunning in fruit quality and minerality — 7 months ago
