Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2020

Tough and compact. Just ripe crunchy strawberries and soaring complex aromatics. One to lay away, but massive potential. — 7 months ago

Lay Purus Erzeugerabfüllung Riesling

Lemons, mineralogy, cider, green apples. Super floral on the nose and long finish. Some tannin and med plus acidity. If you’re tired of regular ries this is your boy. — 6 years ago

Montevertine

Le Pergole Torte Sangiovese 2016

Still absolutely gigantic and wound up, taking a whole day to give dried flowers and blackberry jam in addition to its massive, tongue-stripping, tannic backbone. Structure to lay down for another 25 years, easy. A bit hard to approach and intense now. — 2 years ago

Excellent, would definitely have again. Slightly fruitier than your average dry Sauvignon. Purchased via Naked. — 4 years ago

Got a great deal on 6 pack of these two Bordeaux greats. Both got scores of 99, but the range of scores was pretty wide for both as well. I know I have to lay them down for 10 years+ but I wanted to try both for a baseline.
The Palmer is showing a lot more than the Ducru. It’s very enjoyable now! Nose is fantastic if a touch muted but still get nice cedar, black cherry, hint of floral, and something herbal. The palate is slate, cherry, blackberry, and currant. Not muted or closed in the least, but the slate thing overlays the fruit. Does that make sense? Help me describe that.
All in all I love this wine. Can’t hardly wait for 10 years from now. Guessing I won’t!
