One of the best langhe nebbiolos I’ve had recently, especially for a relatively reasonable price on the list at Leon’s. And a great pairing with pork braciole as well. Lots of fruit, but still quite refined, with great texture and acid. Quite pretty and delicious. — 8 months ago

Absolutely beautiful Granbussia Riserva, truffles, road tar, still quite structured and a tad tannic, but layers and layers of deep, complex flavors, absolutely lovely!! — 4 years ago

Very firm structure but not with the tannic structure of Nebbiolo: the blend softens that but this wine is not soft. Well defined if not a bit reticent to show-off… — 18 hours ago

Lovely Barolo from a ripe vintage really showed well after being decanted for an hour. — 9 months ago

At age 55 it’s a bit faded. A little tired. But has an elegance and a weightless quality to it. Fruit not vivid but very much alive. Well balanced. This Granbussia, according to the label, was from Bricco Colonello fruit. Lovely. — a year ago

Vino Nobile de Montepulciano is a unique Sangiovese. We fell in love with it when we visited the region. Perhaps a bit of an acquired taste because it has a bit of a stringent dark, earthy, gravel, irony finish following vibrant dark red cherry… but it only takes a glas to get hooked. Paired surprisingly well with aged Gouda cheese proving its robust structure and present earthy umami flavors. The wine is aged in a medieval underground space below the winery with soaring high vaulted ceilings representing a cathedral highlighting wine as a spiritual experience. Also the name of winery goes back the twelve century as a recluse living in the caves, where the winery stands today, was able to read the weather from the behavior of a hedgehog, riccio in Italian. — 4 years ago

very plush and open. Broad plush plummy fruit. Underbrush and a developed inky mineral. Soft around the edges with dried cherry and touches of leather and licorice. Gorgeous and long — a month ago

Power and balance; A rare combination especially at age. This 2004 drinks wonderfully now. Still fruit (plum) and flower notes ( classic rose petals) there. But also cedar, bouillon and asphalt. Love it!! — 3 years ago

Lovely fully mature Barolo. The 85s are often on the decline, and this one may not be at peak, but wonderful balance, clear fruit, with a shorter finish than I recall from earlier bottles. 1 of 3 from a very nice dinner last night. — 5 years ago
