Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva Bricco Boschis Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

2013 vintage. Decanted and tasted immediately and after 30 mins. Reticent nose. Medium-heavy body. Massive flavors and structure. Wouldn’t open it any time soon. Phenomenal now but so so intense. If you can Potsie it for a decade plus, do so. Another reminder as to why Barolo is the wine of kings. 11.01.24. — 11 days ago

Lagone Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021

2021 vintage.
Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc from Tuscany.
Deep, dark ruby red colour.
Blackberry, bay leaf and herbal on the nose.
Smooth tannins with dark plums, boysenberry, tobacco and vanilla.
This wine is inexpensive and loves anything coming off the BBQ.

Vigna l'Apparita Toscana IGT Merlot 2020

Considered the star of the CdA lineup, and similar to their chiantis which all have some Merlot blended in, but this was too much Merlot for me - had that plasticity I don’t love — 2 months ago

Poderi Aldo Conterno

Bricco Bussia Vigna Cicala Barolo Nebbiolo 1985

Wow, floral, faint road tar, this twin Barolo tastes 20 years younger than the Colonello, so rich, so YOUTHFUL, so complex, super long and lingering finish, really close to, if not there already, perfect!! — a month ago

Tenuta Il Poggione

Riserva Vigna Paganelli Brunello di Montalcino Sangiovese 2015

Huge potential. Needs decanting about 2-3 hours at least. Deep ruby, medium bodied, nose is strong of chilli, black pepper, dark fruits, peppermint. Strong tannins, strong acidity… bouquet opens to blueberries, goat cheese, herbs. — 2 months ago

Sor Ugo Bolgheri Superiore Super Tuscan Blend 2021

Lovely super Tuscan. Juicy with enough acidity and grip to stand up to smoked ribs. And not too expensive. — 3 months ago
