Salvano
Gentilium Langhe Rosso 2018
Drank 2018 in Aug 2024 with grilled flank steak. Definitely should have been decanted and was a bit young. Raspberries and ripe crisp fruit but with some earthy complexity on the back. — 9 months ago
Tenuta Argentiera
Poggio Ai Ginepri Bolgheri Red Bordeaux Blend 2022
Chocolatey, leathery mouth feel with mainly dark cherry from a fruit perspective. A tiny little spice on the back with a touch of nutmeg. Paired well with Goulash Di Manzo (short rib stew over polenta with mushrooms). — 5 months ago

Matthew Malone
Ripe, dark, round fruit with even a touch of sweetness. The best part is the long beautiful finish. I took a sip, then after quite some time took a bite, and the finish reignited! Amazing now and can see it is still on the upswing vs. past its peak. — 3 months ago
