2018 / fresh, elegant Sangiovese from one of my favorite producers in the Chianti Classico area (Radda), lots of cherry fruit, silky smooth mouthfeel, this is so much more interesting than most Gran Seleziones being produced, simply outstanding — 4 days ago

With Cote de Boeuf, fantastic combo, the meat tames the wine (tannins) and the wine elevates the meat. Still young, nice fruit, very good acidity. Really enjoyable — a month ago

After Clos Rougeard was sold this was the alternative, and what a wine it is after 10 years. Perfect example of a great Cab Franc. Enjoyed is with some grilled beef, the weekend has started 😋 — a month ago

Great cru from the Etna, great fruit, cool wine from hot area, altitude delivers the freshness, burgundy style (feels light, but has power), great combo with lamb filet from the BBQ — 2 months ago

Wow wow and wow, never had such an fantastic Aussie Chardonnay, in a line up with top Burgundy I expect 9 out of 0 people would go wrong (including myself). Light greenish color, what a smell, yes its oaked but just right, classic chardonnays smells but all very elegant, modest, light. In the mouth super elegant, fresh, apple, good accidity, chalky, again wow!! I am a big fan. — a month ago

Still young, but very approachable and fruity, Burgundy style, also earthy notes, went well with Pasta putanesca (spicy/garlic/anchoas), pleasure to drink now and will develop nicely over the years — a month ago

Best way to describe Nerello Mascalese is Pinot Noir on steroids.

Rose doesn’t get any better, 15yo and kicking, at first holding at bit back but when opened up, nice minerality, intense flavor, no sweets or candy fruit, linear and precise, pleasure to drink — 2 months ago
