Lessona Red Blend
Lessona, Biella, Piedmont, Italy
What a wine. Aromas a bit quiet for now but pretty cherry and tar. Roses. Very nuanced and subtle. Starting to open. So pure. Smells like high quality Barolo from the 60’s. Gorgeous spice. Terrific balance, freshness and purity. Huge tannic grip. But so fresh and engaging. Really spectacular. So awesome with haunting and intense cherry fruit. This is a stunner. Stellar concentration. Magnificent showing. So long, linear and delineated. Almost a 9.5.

Aug 20th, 2021What a nose. Gorgeous nose, wonderful delicate mushrooms, tree bark, balsamic, smoke, tar, roses, mineral and mint. Stunning sweet fruit and purity. Amazing inner mouth aromas. Incredible concentration and purity. Inner mouth aromas. Velvety tannins. Mineral and structure. Amazing wine. So seductive.
After 4 hours open this is killer. Nose is more complex and has mint and leafy tones. Game, mushroom and some cherries. More fruit on palate. Superbly juicy with great freshness. Excellent.

Very pretty floral nose; violets reminiscent of Cote Rotie. Elegant and mature, lovely and resolved. Really appreciate the low alcohol, cool climate character due to high elevation. No rush, but it may not get much better from here. Thanks @Lyle Fass. Loved it!!

Wow. This just is incredible on pop and pour.
Nose is just this incredibly seductive swirl of cherry flower, licorice flower and library book. So elegant.
Palate is literally perfect fresh cherry juice. Echoes of cherry liquor soak the palate on the finish. Elite level silly elegance. Freshness is explosive. The palate impact is incredible. Just hits it like a high pressure hose. Floral notes just sing over the fruit. Texture like silk. As this aerates you get hints of chocolate.
This is a magnificent wine. It’s delicious now. But it will be over the top in 7-10 years.

Elegant & structured. Muted aromatics. We gave this six hours in the decanter. Palate dances around—dusty cherry, acid, earth tones, gravel. Tannic, this needs air and/or time. Mineral. Lovely work.

Nose is dusty cherry. Cherry flower. Cherry licorice. Overtones of lavender. Very elegant. As this opens almost like a succubus. It just seduces the nose. Sexy in an Audrey Hepburn classy kind of way.
Palate is gorgeous. More cherry flower extract than cherry. Texture is really silky. Jesus. Like pureed top of the line silk. The taste is Like cherry Flowers crushed by the feet of babies who have never left the crib.
