Whispering Angel Côtes de Provence Rosé Blend 2024
Very light salmon pink taking on that orange hue. Aromatics are orange blossom, hibiscus, and lemon grass with some vanilla tying them neatly together. Flavor is citrus fruit and creamsicle with a brief stop on the mid palate for some tannins and then a sharp cleansing acidity. Goes very well with an elote risotto with chipotle chicken. — 11 days ago
Kirkland Signature
Barolo Nebbiolo 2021
Pale red, with the browning of age and oxidation. Aroma: leather, tobacco smoke, leather, charred root vegetable, leather, dried currant, leather, and dried leaves. Also leather. Flavor, is tannins. Up front, nothing else straight to leather. A brief pause to experience fruit, but too fast to experience, and then a potent acidity. Quite sharp but wets the pallete after all the dry tannic leather flavors. Overall, weirdly missing body for barolo but other than that surprisingly good. Like at the cheapest barolo at like $40, this would be disappointing. But if you are like $20 bucks with a $20 steak? Absolute kilker deal, — 19 days ago
