As a 41 year old bald celibate vegan in Bushwick, I shed one long tear just now thinking back to that summer in 2002 when I was teaching ESL in Osaka and followed the Japanese punk band YuraYura Teikoku in a Volkswagen EuroVan with my then Japanese girlfriend and her semi-erotic manga collection. — 5 years ago

This is a 50/50 white blend of Garnacha Blanca & old vine Macabeu.
Expressive, aromatic nose with white flowers, fleur d’orange, ripe melon. Rich yet fresh & enticing.
On the palate this is very Burgundian - with a nice creamy mouthfeel balanced with fresh acidity. whole bunch pressed & aged in old foudres. Purify of fruit and a nice herby, saline finish.
Highly drinkable and cheap as chips. — a year ago
Classic Rioja but slightly muted, with a vegetal/sour edge. After 2-3 hours it opened a bit and has more of a chocolate/earth/vanilla under tone... — 5 years ago

So apparently this Barolo has been featured in a wine comic/manga (those exist?) as one of the 12 Apostles of global wine. Even though I’m no comic buff, do I buy the assertion? 100%. I wish I’d met this bottle earlier, but nonetheless found it spicy and easy to drink, yet so memorable. — 6 years ago
