Vigneti Valle Roncati
Leblanque Ghemme
Ghemme, Novara, Piedmont, Italy
Super exciting wine. Insane spice on the nose. Like the whole spectrum. Gorgeous dark cherry fruit and endless depth. 9.7 nose. The florals are just insane. Best nose ever from Roncati. Palate is so deep you get lost in it but it’s so elegant and pure. Unreal density and concentration. Just so sapid and juicy. The fruit tends to be darker cherries but it’s still super bright. Big tannins but ripe and so velvety. Just awesome. This will age 50 years. Easy. It needs air but 9.5 out of the gates. Transcendent Ghemme. The nose you can get lost in after a bit of air. Almost a bee pollen effect. The finesse is remarkable. The nose after an hour is just so pretty. Deep cherry fruit, haunting dried florals and a gorgeous layering of spice. Chestnut. Truly just one of the best noses of the year. Palate is so lush and velvety. Big tannins! But ripe and velvety. Unreal density and concentration of fruit. Then finesses out on the finish and fans out dark cherry fruit and spice. Just ridiculous palate impact here.

Dried fruit - raspberries, cherries. Anise, forest floor. Nice baking spices. Tannic, good acid - can age.

Apr 19th, 2018Pretty cherry fruit with balsamic and white pepper notes. A floral note throughout. Light to medium bodied with good intensity and balance. Long raspberry finish.
