Nice balance, good berries up front and pepper and a little leather. I felt it could have a little more depth. Ugo liked it more than me. Aged well. Nice treat. — 3 years ago

“L” natural Grenache at Primrose 2019 with Zubal on 7/14/21. Dazzlingly delightful recommended by Sebastian for $70. Dances on the front of the tongue. Light, lots of barnyard, to the point of “manure“. Does not stand up to food. — 4 years ago

This Chianti needs significant time to breathe before consuming. There is no question it is quite good. But it is not worth its higher price. It is straightforward and well-made, but lacks the typical astringent Chianti bite in the finish. Good cherry flavor, smooth and elegant, but not complex. — 3 years ago

Very nice value langhe nebbiolo. Quite classic, starting with the color. Doesn’t have the depth or tannic seamlessness of some pricier wines, but still very well balanced with good fruit and earth and lifting acid. Nice. — 4 years ago

Tasted blind. Hint of heat on the nose ? 14.5%. Smooth cherry. Good grip. Rich. Not super interesting but great great fruit. Finished second to ugo Lequio in an 11 bottle blind tasting. By far the most expensive wine. — 6 years ago
