Riserva Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Very solid Brunello. A bit tight with tannins on opening. Day 2 and day 4 were smooth with medium body. Dark berries and spice on the nose. Earthy & fruit on the palate with dark berries, balsamic, baking spice. Moderate finish. Nice complexity but missing the excitement of an outstanding brunello. Good value. — 2 months ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2016

If you love bold tannins from start to finish this is it! Mild floral and undergrowth nose. Subtle cherry, dry flowers and woody earth on the palate. Long finish. Not much change after 4.5 hours. May need to decant longer to open up more. — 4 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

2023 impressions and upgraded rating - this must have been shut down in 2019. It is now approachable and a decent representation of Barolo. Nose is now dense dark fruit and spice. Palate is dark cherry leather and mineral (graphite). Medium density. Tannins are still prominent and probably could use a few more years in the cellar - but drinkable today. I’d say moderate complexity now but not a first bottle of the evening wine. 2019 impressions - Tight out of the bottle and not much improvement with decanting. High in tannins with little complexity for a Barolo. — 5 years ago
