2017 / drank it as a tribute to the iconic Lorenzo Accomasso who passed away 3 weeks ago at the age of 91, after have worked on 70 vintages! Amazing. Although 2017 was not a classic vintage and you have to like a classic farmer winegrower style, but if you do this is a very very enjoyable wine, still a baby — 14 days ago

2015 / silky, smooth, velvetty texture, combined with good acidity. Fruit was more on the background, but a good combination with pasta+black truffle — a month ago

With Cote de Boeuf, fantastic combo, the meat tames the wine (tannins) and the wine elevates the meat. Still young, nice fruit, very good acidity. Really enjoyable — 2 months ago

2020 / Good approachable Barolo from a cooler vintage and a ‘new’ talented producer, i believe its even the first vintage for this wine, so a good effort nevertheless still too young — 14 days ago

2018 / fresh, elegant Sangiovese from one of my favorite producers in the Chianti Classico area (Radda), lots of cherry fruit, silky smooth mouthfeel, this is so much more interesting than most Gran Seleziones being produced, simply outstanding — 22 days ago

After Clos Rougeard was sold this was the alternative, and what a wine it is after 10 years. Perfect example of a great Cab Franc. Enjoyed is with some grilled beef, the weekend has started 😋 — 2 months ago

Wow wow and wow, never had such an fantastic Aussie Chardonnay, in a line up with top Burgundy I expect 9 out of 0 people would go wrong (including myself). Light greenish color, what a smell, yes its oaked but just right, classic chardonnays smells but all very elegant, modest, light. In the mouth super elegant, fresh, apple, good accidity, chalky, again wow!! I am a big fan. — 2 months ago

Still young, but very approachable and fruity, Burgundy style, also earthy notes, went well with Pasta putanesca (spicy/garlic/anchoas), pleasure to drink now and will develop nicely over the years — 2 months ago

Best way to describe Nerello Mascalese is Pinot Noir on steroids.
