Unearthed too quickly. Didn’t realize it was a 2019 😅. You could certainly sense it has lots of potential but it just didn’t come out of its shell. Dark red flavors of pie cherries and pomegranate, fine grained tannins. Too young, too tight, too impatient 😁. — 3 years ago

100% Syrah

Brownish, bricked, garnet. Semi transparent. Widened rim.

Superbly perfumed aromas of savory dark fruits - old leather, black pepper, dried rose petal, grilled teriyaki-marinated meat.

Not entirely completely resolved with some tannic structure lingering on. Red cherry, dried plum and blackberry. Lovely secondary characters firmly established with gamey profile, and ashy spices.

This is an absolute classic of a gem unearthed from the depth of the rather lengthy wine list at Sparks Steakhouse in Midtown East, NYC. 91. — 7 years ago

Sometimes you nose a wine and wonder, where do I start? So it is with the 2018 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo. Crushed ashen stones, like something unearthed from the gut of a volcano, evolve into notes of curry leaf, balsam herbs, sweet tobacco, licorice and, finally, dried black cherries. This gentle giant coasts along the palate with soft textural waves of mineral-tinged red and black fruits, yet beneath it all is an energizing core of strict acidity. Its tannins are present, yet they are sweet and nearly masked by the primary concentration within. The 2018 finishes long and perfumed with a tug of tart wild berries that resonates. While the 2018 will be an earlier maturing vintage of Amorotti Montepulciano, it should not be missed. (Eric Guido, Vinous, October 2022)

Risky click of the day! 17 years of age and yet absent of the stench on unearthed skin. Not the most delightfully petrol forward and yet not cloying either. And chayp! — 5 years ago

A dice-roll bottle from an unearthed value case in a clients cellar. Super sappy, inky black, with lively acid and silty tannins. Grilled strawberry, braised plum and fig reduction, tiniest touch of duck sauce VA. Cigar ash, dried red chiles. Really enjoyed! — 4 years ago

2014 Brocard Chablis & Ayalew Mesfin. Unearthed politically charged Ethiopian funk courtesy of Now-Again Records and vinyl me please . Wine is crisp & bright. Music is revelatory considering this is the first anthology of his work with his involvement. Will actually pair with most wines on both weekends and weeknights. — 7 years ago
