Wine director at Antica Osteria Restaurant, just outside Toronto, Canada.
4 years after trying this vintage the first time and calling it Nirvana-esque. I rescind. Didn’t live up to the expectations. Less Nirvana and more Skin Yard. It’s a decent nebbiolo, but if you’re gonna call it a Barolo, it lacks. — 2 months ago
Liked the 2013 considerably more than the 2015. Still a good wine but not as big as I wanted. Probably be past prime next year. — 2 months ago
I tried this blind and guessed Canadian Merlot, lol. Either I suck or the wine does. I don’t mean any disrespect, it was good, it just didn’t taste how I would want my 10 year old 1er cru volnay to taste. It was ruby in colour, fruity, not many mineral notes, soft on acidity… just not what I would have expected this to taste like. — 2 months ago
Cool label, wine tastes more like Sauvignon blanc than I’m comfortable with, but it’s delicious. — 21 days ago
Even better 4 1/2 years after the first time I tried it. This wine/vintage over-performs. Comparable to some of the higher end riservas. — 2 months ago
Zingy. Tangy. Drier than I expected. Great with octopus risotto. — 2 months ago

Good wine. Not as big and buttery as I had hoped. Had it during a power outage in an ice storm with some oysters. Some wines are made for moments like these. — 8 days ago
