Le Chiuse Brunello di Montalcino JEROBOAM 3L 2021
Jero #01 Signed by Lorenzo!
The Le Chiuse 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is a lovely wine and one of my favorites from a vintage that is not always easy to read. It delivers its message clearly with dark fruit, blue flower, grilled herb and sweet cedar, showing a sense of fullness and aromatic completeness that is not always present in this year. Soft and silky on the palate, the wine offers gentle, powdery tannins supported by good underlying structure, achieving balance without force. Sourced as a special selection from eig

Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé Chambolle-Musigny 'Premier Cru' 2023
Note: from younger Musigny vines of less than 25 years of age, the youngest of which were planted in 2007; Lupatelli noted that because so few vines are now less than 25 years of age, the surface area is only about .27 ha and situated in Grands Musigny; 5 barrels produced in 2023This is also quite floral in character with its ever-so-slightly riper array of exuberantly spicy blend of both red and dark cherry, exotic tea and a whiff of dried orange peel.

Domaine de la Vougeraie Grand Cru Charmes-Chambertin 'Les Mazoyeres' 2022
This is also markedly floral in character with its cool, airy and equally pure nose of the essence of red berries, forest floor, earth and similar hint of smoked game. The delicious, vibrant and somewhat denser medium-bodied flavors possess a super-sleek yet solidly powerful mouthfeel, all wrapped in a detailed, balanced and beautifully persistent finish. I very much like the fruit-acid-tannin balanced and this is so good that it could well be the finest Charmes of the 2022 vintage. (from a .74

Poderi Aldo Conterno 'Cicala' Barolo MAGNUM 2012
Poderi Aldo Conterno is one of the few Great Estates of Barolo. “Like tasting young Romanée-Conti” James Suckling Back in 2005, during my first trip to Italy, I spotted a bottle of Aldo Conterno on the list of fine restaurant in Turin, just to the north of Barolo.

Cerbaiona Brunello di Montalcino MAGNUM 2021
I’d love to compare it directly to the 2021 Soldera and Poggio di Sotto. A wine from a maker with intent. It’s clear there is quality fruit here.Researching the Brunello, I came across Galloni's notes on the 2010 Brunello. "In all of my years tasting the wines of Montalcino, I have only come across two wines with this level of textural unctuosity and sweetness; Gianfranco Soldera's 1983 Brunello and 1990 Riserva."There is not a more emphatic statement that could be made about the cap

R. López de Heredia Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva 1995
Tasting the 1994 in May 2023 I was lost in the glass with the delicacy, perfume, vibrant red fruit, perfectly poised acid tannin complex. The sophistication, elegance and intoxicating perfume of the wine, simply astonishing. All from a wine held in barrel for 8 years and further 10 in bottle before release!The only current red Gran Reserva is the 1995 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva, the one that is produced exactly the same as before, including fining with egg whites and sealing with red wa

Vietti Barolo Riserva 'Villero' 2013

Vietti Barolo Riserva ‘Villero’ 2013

Nebbiolo | Piedmont, Barolo

Vietti's Riserva 'Villero' is not made every year. Like all Barolo Riserva's it is matured for a few extra years before release. Vietti's 2013 Barolo Riserva Villero is a showstopper. Wow! dense, powerful and richly constituted, the Villero captivates from the very first taste. Smoke, scorched earth, gravel, cured meats and black cherry are some of the many notes that inform this decidedly somber, brooding Barolo. The interplay of fruit density and structure is just captivating. Time in the glas

Giacomo Conterno Barolo 'Arione' 2016

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Arione’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Roberto acquired a portion of the Arione Cru in 2015. Just under 6 Ha for 6 million euro. It is adjacent to the Francia vineyard, long responsible for both the Barolo ‘Cascina Francia’ and ‘Monfortino’ Riserva in the very southern end of Serralunga. The contours of Arione follow on directly from Francia and the soil profiles are similar with a limestone base compared to Cerretta’s clay base. The 2016 Barolo Arione is a sort of synthesis between the Cerretta and Francia. It has the red

Giacomo Conterno Barolo ‘Francia’ 2016

Nebbiolo | Serralunga d'Alba, Barolo

Conterno’s 2016 Barolo Francia is effusive, with a real sense of expansiveness that gives the wine breadth. Sage, mint, cedar, tobacco and strong mineral accents complement a core of dark fruit in a Barolo of real gravitas. Just bottled a few months ago, the 2016 is going through a very rare period of approachability (in relative terms). It will almost certainly shut down within the next few months. Readers who are curious will want to taste it before that happens. In 2016, Roberto Conterno di
