Valpolicella Superiore Corvina Blend 2014
Naughty little syrup - literally roaming in the barrel. Perfect with large small plates and fellow Vikings — 3 years ago
Campi Nuovi
Montecucco Sangiovese 2019
Ruby to garnet
Crunchy
Big cherry, black truffle, mushrooms, preserved peaches, iron. Long and fresh.
This guy apparently has worked with all the top sangiovese handlers such as Palmucci, Gambelli, Manetti and so on, but lost the train to become famous and still he is doing the right thing
This is just more than an ordinary Montecucco and fits perfectly in the "serious sangiovese" bracket. I expect it to age beatifully for quite a while. Demeter producer. — 2 years ago
S.C. Pannell
Adelaide Hills Nebbiolo 2016
Smells and looks exactly like a good Langhe. Brick red with aromas of dried cherry, menthol, mint and other herbs. Medium weight palate - M plus tannins; M plus acid - typical again. As good as anything I’ve had as a Rosso from Piedmont. Myself and fellow judges made this the Grand Champion of the Toowoomba Wine Show in 2019. Also Trophy, best other variety red, 2018 Adelaide Hills Wine Show. Have written previously about Steve Pannell’s expertise with alternative varieties. — 3 years ago
This is why I follow you.
Your insight to wine and tasting notes are second to none.
Thank You.

California Tannat 2021
Dry and floral red with a tart finish. Nicely balanced blend of dark berries with a unique taste. — 3 years ago
Philippe Colin
Chassagne-Montrachet Chardonnay 2019
Tasted in wine class: Super for a village chard, but hey, not exactly any ordinary village. Complex and intense. Nice oak too. — 4 years ago
Château Lestage
Listrac-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2019
2019 vintage. Another great value from this Listrac estate. Dark red. Black fruit, less oaky compared to the 2018. Good concentration, a more extracted style compared to fellow Cru Bourgeois Supérieur Lilian Ladouys 2019 (Saint-Estephe) tasted alongside, but excellent value at 11(!) euros. — 4 years ago
Samuel Tyndall
Don’t get the hype. Good wine. Very California, but nothing out of the ordinary. Not worth $80, worth $40 — a year ago
