At Mini India for the first time. Really liked the food…this wasn’t the lowest cost wine on the list. We went for a mid priced wine (15.9€) and found it to be a delightful experience. Would definitely have this one again, especially at this price point. — 3 years ago

Praleum w SL. Smoky and mineral. Complex. Longish finish. WOTD. Shaded the 82 Margaux.
The profound 1988 Brunello di Montalcino boasts a huge nose of black-cherries and spice box aromas intermingled with scents of wood, smoke, herbs, and cedar, full body, an unctuous, voluptuous texture, great concentration, and surprisingly low acidity. Poggio Antico's 1988 has tamed the vintage's toughness, producing a decadent, hedonistic Brunello that should drink well now and over the next 12-15 years.
One of Brunello di Montalcino's emerging stars, Poggio Antico continues to produce some impressive Brunellos. 1988, RP94, issue date 1994

At Charleston in Baltimore. Had twice in 2 nights. Lovely and balanced, buttery and floral — 2 months ago
The wine is magnificent. Smells like a peach orchard. The fruit, the trees The flowers all of it. Also get pleasant but subtle notes of vanilla, citrus, ocean, and cardamom. Flavor is fresh, slightly under ripe peach (basically no sweetness), lemongrass and vanilla. Medium body but so well balanced by a refreshing acidity that matches seafood so well. I could smell this wine all day and never grow tired of it. — 3 months ago

Pop and pour. A splendid dark ruby red color with some bricking. On the nose: dark cherry, currants, orange rind, new leather, dried herbs, floral. Taste: rich, elegant, brooding mouthcoating wine with dark slightly sour cherry, dusty earth, minerals, clove, plum, baking spice, and a long finish. YUM! — 11 days ago
