Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

ジュゼッペマスカレッロ バローロ モンプリヴァート 2004
今が2025年なので、21年前のワイン。

色はガーネット色になっていないように見える。
香りも熟成的なニュアンスはなく、とてもきれい。

飲んでみると、ドライローズ?アセロラ?

ネッビオーロとは思えない香り。ドルチェットもドルチェットらしからぬ香りだったが、その時と同じ香りがする。ジュゼッペマスカレッロ香とも言うべき香りなのか。。。

タンニンは完全に溶け込んでいて、澄み切ったというか、透明感のある果実味。
軽やかだが、緻密で焦点があった感じがする。
エレガントというかとにかく優しく繊細。
ブラインドではバローロ と言えないと思う。
唯一無二のワイン。

ちなみに、最後にオリも一切なし。本当に21年前のワインだったのだろうか。。。

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 1983

This was a very, very special evening and the wine went even beyond our wildly high expectations. From the moment the cork came out, it was just absolutely perfect! The bottle has seen some travel but has been expertly stores for over 30 years and then brought back for this special night not far from Barbaresco itself to accompany a mind blowing meal with fantastic friends. — 24 days ago

Costasera Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Corvina Blend 2018

Light and flowery on the nose and an opening splash of oranges followed by medley of plum, anise, fig and apple. The finish is moderate in acidity with hint of smoke. — 13 days ago

Albe Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

I would have guessed Brunello rather than Barolo — a little lighter than expected. Granite, rose, violet, red fruit, Italianate acidity - but not overly complex. Enjoyable. Just squeaks into 91. Not a great value for the $35 I paid. — 21 days ago

I've always found Albe pleasing for the price, maybe had it 5 or 6 times. Cheers!

Montevertine

Le Pergole Torte Sangiovese 2013

Excellent vintage. Lively and supple. Quintessential Sangiovese. Decanted and enjoyed over 3+ hours. It aged rapidly in the last 90 minutes but still was packing. Cherry. Menthol. Subtle earthiness. — 10 days ago

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2010

Relieving-ly sound. Sweet nose and subtle Piedmont rays at odds with the young tannic finish. — 19 days ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2020

9.2

Pretty and quite approachable at this young age. Aromas of rose petal, red cherry, raspberry, and tar. Light tobacco and dried herbs also on the palate, with fresh acidity and elegant refined tannins.
The 2020 vintage in Piedmont seems to be quite open and expressive early, but age worthy as well.

Riserva Cannonau di Sardegna 2020

Nose of sandalwood. Lots of strawberries and cherries. Light tannins. This one is lighter- bodied than others I’ve had. Complimented nicely the Pasta Amatriciana. — 4 days ago

Masseto

Toscana Merlot 2003

Double decant for sediment(lots of chunky/fine sediment)and pour. A splendid medium dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: Intoxicating perfumed notes of stewed cherry, fig, herbaceous, roasted meat, funky earth, toasted marshmallow. Taste: opulent mature savory wine with ripe plum, licorice, saline, and a graphite dried herb long finish. YUM! Not bad for a harsh hot/dry vintage. — 20 days ago
