Laboro Disubbidiente Per Terra Madre Vino Rosso Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Funny label. Aromas are epic. Orange and berry sauce. Hint of apple pumice. A lot of rosehip too. Flavors are lovely and true to type. Citrus meets red zinger. Flowers, stone fruits, and Rainer cherries are in spades. — 18 days ago

Germano Ettore

Della Madre Superiore Barbera d'Alba 2020

Dark ruby in color with a purplish hue.

Very fruity on nose with red and black fruits, wood, earth, tobacco and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

Dry on the palate with cooked cherries, blueberries, plums, tobacco leaf, light oak, milk chocolates and spices.

Spicy finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.

This is a nice and easy drinking Barbera from Piedmont. Fruit forward and tangy.

Good right out of the bottle, and good by itself or with food. The high alcohol is not noticeable at this point.

100% Barbera grapes from 20 year old vines were grown at 1,000 feet of elevation. Aged for 12 months in used French oak barrels.

15% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

$25.

Tabalí

Roca Madre Malbec 2018

100% Malbec grown at an altitude of 1600 meters in volcanic soil. This is not your average run of the mill South American Malbec. This Chilean wine is richly blueish red in color that streaks the glass with its viscous 14.5 ABV, medium plus body.

The nose is floral, herbal, and spicy. On the palate the pepper leads, accompanied by fresh red fruit, wood and nuts. The tannins are smooth and the finish is long.

This wine is stellar and it is not done improving, as the oak notes will develop into tertiary flavors. I have more that I will save and comment on later. Vive Chile!!!

Au Bon Climat

Santa Barbara Historic Vineyards Collection Sierra Madre Vineyard Chardonnay 2005

Stunningly complex, mesmerising and fantastic.
Full of tertiary notes: Figs, hazelnuts, stemmed ginger, dried lemon peel, honey. Loads of caramel, baking spices, vanilla and tonka beans. Quite oxidative almost sherry like. Super bright acidity, wonderful balance and structure, a super lush and creamy finish.

Tenuta Iuzzolini

Madre Goccia Crotone Greco Chardonnay 2022

Subtle sweetness on a dry white was unexpected of a southern Italian white - good thing I didn’t have to try this blind, I’d have guessed something Alsatian. That said, it was great. — 7 months ago
