Many 85s from Piedmont have faded. This one is just a classic example of fully mature Nebbiolo. Tar, leather, sous bois, soft fruit, iron, wet stone, and tannins still alive, well balanced. Long finish. Showing surprisingly well. A great wine for a heat wave!! 😆 — 3 months ago

New-mown hay, blackberry brambles on the nose. Intensely fruit forward, but not sweet or cloying. Raspberries and blackberries. Light tannic structure, with mint and back pepper low notes, but it develops a pleasing minerality on its surprisingly long finish. I don’t know anything about this vintage, but it seems like it was grown on volcanic soils. The front reminds me of a Beaujolais Nouveau, but the finish is much more complex. A unique profile combination that I’ve never tasted before. Lovely. — 5 months ago

Brunello di Montalcino 2020. Nose: Cherry, plum. Taste: anise, cherry. Medium bodied Brunello, lots of dark fruit notes. Great with the Mediterranean meal I was having. A special bottle for me as it was shared with special people. — 5 months ago

The niose on this is out of this world (or one might say heavenly hehehe) for a garnacha with both fresh and stewed plums, black pepper, menthol or eucalyptus, and the savoryness of red meat. Relaxed and not in a hurry on the pallate, it floats there with very fine tannins and just enough acid to keep it fresh while not interfering with the silky texture of it all.

Strong floral & spice on the nose when first opened. After 20 minutes decanted, delicate layers of cherry & blueberry fruit on the palate with light spice… and a very nice long finish. Soft tannins are pronounced.
This wine has not peaked. I will try it again in a couple of years. But it is delightful right now! — 16 days ago
