Well, after almost all have departed and just some close friends and family are left, out comes the Valtellina’s prize. An ever changing chameleon of Nebbiolo* that drinks like 1er Cru Burgundy. Problem is holding on to them. — 14 days ago

Fantastic! This Brunello is amazing - the 2017 feels like still quite young, chewable and still very complex. — a month ago

Wow what a surprising and interesting wine. Done in amarone styling this wine must be very intense on release. At 24 years old it was still punchy but very drinkable. Layers of flavors and aromatics was actually great with the rack of lamb — 2 months ago

Light, rust colored; some bright fruit, light tannins, and pure cherry fruit. Quite quaffable! Went well with orecchiette, sausage and rapa. I do love Valtellina neb. North meets South with this dinner. — 20 days ago

Needed 24 hours. Was a mess last night. Put a cork back in it and was the right call. Glorious aromas of spice, roses and damp earth. Palate is silky and ethereal. Gorgeous texture, freshness and so supple. — 24 days ago

BTG still a bit tight. Last sip the best. — 13 days ago

These are some of my favorite Mountain Nebbiolo. ArPePe actually ages the Riserva before releasing. — 6 days ago

A Barolo wearing a paisley tie. Very fresh, medium minus body. Would have guessed five-year old Nebbiolo. — a month ago

Unreal nose. The chestnut barrels really doing their thing here. This also just reeks of terroir. Reeks. Unreal wet earth, mushrooms, marsh, spices galore and damson roses. Unreal cherry clarity. Just stunning out of the gates. Palate is ultra juicy and clean, silky and smooth right out of the gates which is highly unusual for this Cru as it needs hours, often days of air. A wine that tastes and smells like Autumn. So fresh, energetic but also has the plumpness of 18. Can’t wait to see where this goes. — 2 months ago
