Topikos Oinos Lemesos Xynistéri 2017

Cyprus! I’m going to be honest, I don’t really remember details of the wine but I know I liked it - but not necessarily anything to write home about. Just a nice refreshing wine. #sommcon — 8 years ago

Well ripened and fresh, with a solid mid palette. Sleeper St Estephe. Drink now.

Marchesi Antinori

Tignanello Toscana Super Tuscan Blend 2015

The red lighting really adds to its intensity. Very dark, spicy but sooo delicious. I do think that I wouldn’t be quite as into this if I hadn’t taken the time to taste so many other dark Italian reds. And, considering wine is so often compared to women, let me take this time to call this bottle my ideal tall dark and handsome man 🙃 #sommcon — 8 years ago

Octagon Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Conservative winemaking but in the best way. Firm tannins and dark fruit, nothing confected nor herbal, new oak has yet to fully integrate, but I trust this is the right call for a wine that deserves medium-long term cellaring.
I asked Luca about their Nebbiolo, which they have been bottling since the 80s that have aged exceedingly well, spurring then to plant more.

Legit Crozes-Hermitage, collected old vines and hillside vineyards. None of that purple-pastille-drink here.
