9.1

At Moore Brothers tasting of Piemonte with Fung and Mary 1/25/25. Unusual blend with fruit from high up by the foothills of Alps but microclimate warm enough for palm trees. A rather rich and round texture and wouldn’t have guessed Nebbiolo. — a month ago

Needs some time to open up, then black cherry and tar, lively and deep. — 4 months ago

The 2020 Barolo Le Coste di Monforte is redolent of iron, game, incense, scorched earth, blood orange, dark fruit and tobacco. A potent, strapping Barolo, the 2020 is certainly not for the timid. It offers tons of Monforte power, brawn and muscle. A few years in the cellar is an absolute must. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2024)

Plum, berry and some pleasant earthy notes, nice balance, some structure still, and a long, lingering finish, really pleasant Dolcetto!! — a month ago

Good rose, mostly savory and herbal, some salty. Maybe a little fruit, but feels mostly savory to me, nose maybe with some violet. — 5 months ago

I don’t always have the best experience with wines from this producer, but by golly, when they’re good, they’re really quite special, as it was here. Easily my red of the night!

So pure, clean, and lively. The nose was just bursting with floral and herbal energy, with hints of pepper and liquorice too. The fruits on the nose and palate felt so fresh - blackcurrant, strawberries, cherries, and even a hint of apples in the finish. Juicy and super velvety. Very quaffable, but it’d be a mistake to not focus in on the [perhaps stealthy] complexities it offered. — 9 months ago
