La Palazzetta (Flavio Fanti)

Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2019

Good value. Nose on opening with prominent rose petals cherry and old leather furniture. Tannins prominent on opening. After 2+ hours of slow ox much more approachable. Palate with candied cherries, anise, holiday spice, leather and almonds. Lingering very dry leather and tobacco finish. One drawback is notable alcohol presence the first couple hours. More time in cellar needed before opening next bottle? — 3 months ago

La Morra Saglietti Flavio

Cerequio Barolo Nebbiolo 2016

2016 annata top. Barolo austero e potente, un vero Cerequio. Piccolo produttore e alta qualità. C’è tutto, alcolicità ben bilanciata, tannino vellutato, profondo e in continua evoluzione nel calice. Si sente ancora troppo la tostatura dell’affinamento. Etereo dal 2024/26 — 3 years ago

Bouchard Père et Fils

Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Pinot Noir 2010

We had the 2010 Vintage on 11/4-5/23. A real good PN. Tastes of raspberry, strawberry and baking spice. Medium bodied. More fruit forward for a Burgundy. I spoke to Flavio at The Wine Watch. He tells me this wine maker produces wines more fruit forward than most Burgundies. I sensed this wine was more CA than FR. — a year ago
