Liaison Pinot Noir 2020

A less wild, thicker, charismatic version of Liaison. More filled out. Still with that E&M corduroy murk, more glow for par.

Candy coat with cherry, raspberry, and acetone.

Spanna Colline Novaresi Nebbiolo 2019

Little funk on the nose. Sour cherry, some minerals and a bit of smoke. Little lighter than I expected, some healthy tannin on the back end. Really fine wine for $20 or so. Nice to see Vallana’s around again. — 4 months ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2013

A mid cherry red in colour. Aromatics of red fruits, menthol and touches of tar and roses. Light to medium bodied on the palate - surprising for a Barolo with medium plus intensity. Different and interesting in a good vintage from an excellent producer. Next in a year. — 17 days ago

Cannubi Barolo Nebbiolo 2014

This is a classic style Barolo from PW…excellent but still pretty tannic, could use some more time (and it’s a mag so maybe more opening) — 3 months ago

Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello

Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2007

2007 vintage drinking very well - was almost ready out of the bottle but improved with a few hours in the decanter. Wonderful red fruit on the palate with strawberries, raspberries and red cherries. Alcohol was slightly perceptible. This is in a good place and seems unlikely to improve much, but nowhere near a state of decline. Fruit is still quite primary with nice acidity — 4 months ago

Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend 2019

2019 vintage. Medium body. Smooth throughout with ripe plum and Fudgsicle flavors. Absolutely delicious now but looks to hold steady for the near future. Would like to try again in a half-decade. 03.26.25. — a month ago

Via Nuova Barolo Nebbiolo 2018

Chiara Boschis is the white wizard of modern Barolo. At six years this is tasting amazing, takes about 90 mins to fully flourish but once its there, the wine displays beautiful structure, fine grain tannins, vivid acidity, and a balanced play between perfectly ripe fruit and earthy undertones. My chef friend was kind enough to gift me some fresh black truffle from Piedmont. Can’t begin to explain the harmony in the pairing. Cheers. — 4 months ago
