Wedding chard but haven’t had it in years - highly quaffable, on the lighter side, strong peach on the nose but fades a bit on the palate - I wouldn’t pair it with heavier sauces but works well with a light seafood dish — 4 days ago

Have held onto a six pack of these for several years but it’s not been long enough…super sparkly, like it’s a ‘24. Despite decanting two hours! Love the Rafanelli but needs a lot of age. — 2 months ago

Not a fan, at least this young - powerhouse cab but badly needs aging, has a plasticity to it that was not pleasant — 3 months ago

Excellent Pinot but I think inferior to the Tetarossa lineup — 22 days ago

Excellent Barbera, especially given its youth, sparkle tamed after an hour or so — 22 days ago

Stellar Barolo. Definitely of the new school, lighter color, lightly structured, but radiant fruit in a refined style. Decanted 2hrs. Perfect pairing for veal/osso buco, maybe less so for a roast. Some debate whether more age would refine the fruit further or cause it to dissipate. No idea but have two more so can experiment! Made me want to get on an overnight to Piedmont tonight. — 3 months ago

Still pretty strong tannins…the search for a tolerable Barbaresco continues — 22 days ago

This is a classic style Barolo from PW…excellent but still pretty tannic, could use some more time (and it’s a mag so maybe more opening) — a month ago

Didn’t love this - aroma was classic Burgh fruit but palate didn’t match - overly musty/underwhelming - maybe needs some age. Or the sons aren’t up to the dads standard — 3 months ago

Fantastic Spaniard, tastes a lot more youthful than it is - still bright and fruity but not sparkly and no earth — 3 months ago
