Barolo Nebbiolo 2019

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two hours. The 2019 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red fruits: strawberry, raspberry, Morello cherry, roses, dried green herbs, and gravely earth. On the palate the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. From one of the lesser known Conterno’s…but still quite lovely. Drink now through 2039 — a month ago

Poderi Aldo Conterno

Gran Bussia Barolo Nebbiolo 1982

I believe this was Aldo’s top Barolo back in the day(??), this is much more evolved than the 1982 Gaja Barbaresco, drying tannins and some just barely on the downside soy notes detract, as my brother always tells me, rarely are older wines great, but sometimes individual bottles are, still a very good 43-year-old Barolo!! — 2 months ago

Arboreus Umbria IGT Trebbiano 2016

Unique amber color veering toward orange. Aromas of black and white tea, dried orchard fruit, white cranberry, earth, musk, and dried flowers. Complex. Very interesting. Reminds me more of an aged Pinot Noir than a white wine. — 2 months ago

San Valentino Sangiovese Blend

Let her open up a bit. Rustic and medium bodied, earthy, just like a Umbria wine should taste — 2 months ago
