Fiamme Antiche Inferno Valtellina Superiore Nebbiolo 2017

9.7

Quite simply one of the best Nebbiolo’s I have ever had. The nose is explosive; super fragrant rose petal, dried strawberry, some cranberry, various crunchy red fruits. Tar, leather, forest floor, porcini mushroom, leather. Palate with concentrated dried strawberry, cranberry, soft tannins, dried fruit, integrated acidity, no alcoholic heat, lengthy finish. Complex. Most ratings I have seen are in the 89-93 range; for me this is much higher, and in the perfect place for consumption as it has a great balance of primary fruit and tertiary aged character.

Antiche Cantine Dei Marchesi Di Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

Gorgeous bottle of ruby red shades and intense aromatics featuring vanilla, spices, rose petals, and nuts. Quite complex. Great medium+ body and strong acidic structure but with a refined weight and balance, it’s not overpowering but has a lot of character. Really good lingering finish. — 3 months ago

Baorna Amarone della Valpolicella Corvina Blend

Extremely aromatic on the baked blueberries, enticing aromas and taste of raisins. Rounded and well-balanced. Elevated acidity and texture. Smooth but spicy from entry to end. Opens beautifully after 30-45mins after cooking. — 8 months ago
