Fantastic effort from a somewhat difficult vintage… bridges the style gap for most in our tasting crew (modern vs traditional). Needs 2+ hours of air or 4+ years in bottle, but everyone loved this one. 2nd bottle tasted from this vintage, both terrific.

Locked and loaded, matched a wide range of food. Gentle and on the medium weight of the Barabarange, it had enough weight to give it some Nebbiolo gravitas.

Mid to light bodied but packed a punch. Spice, roses, cherry and tar. Finished strongly.

Certainly one of the most exotic wines I've had in a while. Loaded with spices, along with a forest of herbs, the most prominent being sage and bay leaf. A tropical version of cherry adds another layer of both intrigue and enjoyment. My first La Spinetta, and I'm already a fan.

Aug 18th, 2017This wine sparked a discussion right off the bat concerning the aromas; I said sweaty leather, but others thought new car leather, antique store, grandma’s closet, and baseball glove. Needless to say, it was intriguing from the get-go! Consensus for: Tar, mushroom, stewed plums, tobacco, mocha, caramel, something nutty, and potting soil in the flavors. Tannins and acid still have a bite! Lovely, complex and layered. We talked about the wine for hours! As I always say: Wine is the best argument! (Because unlike religion or politics, you don’t hate the other person at the end of the night!)

Was just an array of Jols lollys; slight orange, black raspberry and blackcurrant. Serious tannin to the wine but didn't seem to work within its style. Maybe worth a revisit
