A rich Cabernet. — 2 months ago
Very pretty ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Medium-bodied with medium acidity. Dry on the palate and complex.
Showing red currants, cherries, earth, light oak, spices, tobacco leaf, dark coffee and black pepper.
Long finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a beautiful Pinot Noir from Burgundy. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel. Elegant and rich.
This 9 year old from the great 2015 vintage is still young, and needs many years in the bottle to mature properly, but already drinking beautifully.
Would be nice to revisit it in 10 years, and will continue to age nicely in the next 20 years.
Very enjoyable and really yummy. A great wine to have all by itself, but good with food too.
I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses and had it by the pool.
93 points.

Brief notes. Showed better than the 2013 vintage we had in December 2021. Quite rich, sweet and fruit driven as well as spicy notes. Tasting more new world in this warm vintage. A good wine without being great. Have the last one in a couple of years ie 2026. — a month ago
The 2021 Barbera d'Alba Tre Vigne is a fabulous, explosive wine. Sumptuous dark cherry, ripe plum, mocha, licorice and new leather are all dialed up to the maximum. This racy, deep Barbera is tremendous. For its quality-to-price ratio, the Alba Tre Vigne might be the wine of the year at Vietti. $25.00 (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, February 2024) — 2 months ago

Buttery, soft, and very earthy with hay. A hint of mushroom and terracotta. — a month ago
On the nose, this is cherry and blueberry... On the palate the cherry is concentrated... The blueberry is also there... Savory, fatty... The tanning here is medium and chewy... The bright, fruity finish is just medium but the tannin lingers long... I quite like this tannin effect here. I paired this with crackers and an aged Gouda, but really I think this could have paired with a variety of foods. Decent acidity to hold its own against a variety of foods as long as they're kept simple. — 2 months ago
Dark ruby coloration. Medium translucency. On the nose, cherry, plum, florals, spice, sweet tobacco and earth. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, plum, spice, leather, earth/dust and minerals, with a long finish of chocolate and raspberry/sweet red berry. Good chewy tannins. Nice complexity and depth. — 4 months ago
