Giacomo Borgogno & Figli

No Name Langhe Nebbiolo 2019

The first bottle was corked, but the second came quickly to the rescue. Boom! Absolutely singing. Roses, cherries, and spices on the nose. On the palate, red and black fruits, orange peel, and a nice earthy edge. Full-bodied with chewy tannins, yet the finish was almost ethereal. Loved the energy here! Plus, there’s plenty of stuffing to age. — 9 months ago

"S" Slatnik Venezia Giulia Chardonnay Tocai Friulano 2020

Lovely orange. Almond and cider. As others note, a bit less chewy than Radikons. A good intro versus some of the other more concentrated bottles. — 10 months ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

Vina Tondonia Réserva 2010 is a captivating wine that embodies elegance and complexity. With its 13% alcohol content, it presents itself with a mesmerizing medium ruby hue, gracefully transitioning into garnet at the edges, which hints at its well-deserved age.

On the nose, this wine offers a delightful bouquet of ripe raspberries and cherries, their natural sweetness harmoniously intermingling with the captivating aromas of tobacco leaf, vanilla, spice, cedar, and subtle undertones of sun-dried tomato. Each inhalation reveals new layers, enticing the senses with its intricate aromatic profile.

Upon tasting, the Vina Tondonia Réserva 2010 showcases a medium body that elegantly caresses the palate. The wine's vibrant acidity adds a refreshing zing, invigorating the taste buds, while the sumptuous tannins provide a luscious, dry texture that is both refined and inviting.

This beautiful wine truly excels, delivering a symphony of flavors that dances across the palate. Its remarkable balance and structure make it a perfect companion for a wide range of culinary delights, enhancing the dining experience. With every sip, one's anticipation is rewarded, leaving a lingering desire for more.

In conclusion, the Vina Tondonia Réserva 2010 is an exceptional wine that captivates both the nose and the palate. Its meticulous craftsmanship and enticing flavors make it an excellent choice for any wine enthusiast. I wholeheartedly recommend savoring this wine alongside a delectable meal, as its sumptuousness is sure to elevate the dining experience. A truly remarkable wine deserving of a score of 96 out of 100.
