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 — 6 months ago

2015 / silky, smooth, velvetty texture, combined with good acidity. Fruit was more on the background, but a good combination with pasta+black truffle — 6 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. — 7 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 — 6 months 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 — 6 months ago

Fresh and elegant vino nobile, lots of cherry flavours, a very good wine, but a bit ‘light’ with the bistecca fiorentina, probably needs a bit more time. Nevertheless one of the best producers in the appelation — 6 months 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 😋 — 7 months ago
