Back in the day a friend and I went in on 2 cases which got us a nice discount and I think we paid about $23 a btl. I was clueless back then and finished my case rather quickly. Fast forward my friend called today and said I’m having people over for dinner on Friday take a look at my inventory and let me know what you think I should serve. I was shocked to see he had almost a full case left. I told him I think this would be a great choice if it was alive. Why I say it’s always good to have great friends. He sent a bottle over for me to try. I was very happy to oblige. A pristine bottle with a great fill. When I took my first sniff , I was immediately taken by the scent of green peppercorns and earth. The flavor profile was that of currants, plums, a hint of olive, tobacco and mostly resolved tannins that combined to provide a surprisingly long finish. Simple joys!
PS, I would decant for sediment but would return it to the bottle because I found extended air time was not a friend.

Winetrip Veneto.
Bordeaux blend from Veneto. This was such a nice surprise. This wine is rocking and seems to be build for the longer haul. Nevertheless already approachable but will definitely improve

1998 Loredam Gasparini capo di stato Cabernet franc. Ultra bretty, like truffles, straight to the pleasure center.

I can only be ecstatic that this wine at 16 years of age is far better than release. A killer deal at 29.99

97, really good. Similar to Bordeaux, but more intensity and value at similar price points. Tobacco, fresh fruit, structure. Nothing but good experiences with the producer.
