Forgotten Wonders

Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti)

Morellino di Scansano 2023

We had it a Lucali, a pizza restaurant in Miami. Medium dark rubi robe, nose of spices and black fruits. Medium bodied, fresh and with civilised tannins. Good stuff for the price and worked wonders with the excellent pizza. — a month ago

Elisabetta Geppetti is a rock star among Italian wine makers.
She makes a wine called Saffredi.
Cabernet Sauvignon dominant Bordeaux blend from Maremma, Tuscany.
It’s impressive.

Thank you Jamie ! First one we had from her if our memory is correct. We’ll look after her tuscan Cab from Maremma. Hope all is well.

Domaine Le Roc

Cuvée Don Quichotte Fronton 2015

Forgotten bottle at my in laws. What a good surprise! Didn't know I had left it there 🤷🏻‍♂️.
This is again a very biaised review as this comes from a vineyard located 10 miles away from where I grew up. A blend of negrette and syrah.
There is a strong violet, blackberry, irony, pepper nose. Very inviting. The palate is very much defined by its acid backbone and its vibrant blackberry and cherry note. There is a huge tannins wall in the middle here, drying up everything in its wake but making way to a fruity, peppery finish with a fruity twist. Huge wine for less than 10 euros

Albert Barossa Valley Shiraz 2005

I’d forgotten about this which I bought many moons ago as part of a vertical of Albert’s.
The 2005 was one of their earliest vintages and having “found” it thought it was probably outside its drinking window. Lots of sediment and crust had lined inside bottle much like a Henschke Mount Edelstone, decanted and it opened up after a couple of hours and it was beautifully smooth and integrated package of flavours.
I have a 2005 Edelstone which I’ll open soon but the Albert evolved over the evening and is an excellent testament to Kym Teusner’s work.

Camilla Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

2018 vintage. Lighter in body but good length of cola, bay leaf and black pepper flavors on the finish. So youthful. A half-decade would do wonders. — 3 years ago

St. Julien Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

2012 vintage. 78% Cabernet Sauvignon and 22% Merlot. An excellent effort in a largely forgotten vintage. Cassis, blackberries, cedar, and Pauillac-like lead pencil. — 2 years ago
