Venezia Giulia IGT Schioppettino 2020

9.5

I’ve tasted thousands of wines over the years. I’ve never had one that tasted like this. In a good way. This is unusual. Really distinct. Peppers. All sorts of peppers. Fresh bell peppers. Exotic black pepper. Even the flavor of mild chili peppers (without the heat). And fruits I am not sure how to describe. And herbs, oregano, rosemary. Wow. — 7 days ago

Been saving this as Cesare’s Barbera was transcendental and I knew the Barolo had to be at a minimum profound. My instincts were correct. The style here is classically styled but a hint of polish with such subtleties. More Robert Bressan than Jacques Tati. Just a stunning nose. Gorgeously refined, defined and perfumed cherry. Incredible mineral spine. Woodsy, salty. Just so complex. So perfumed. Flowers galore. Elite aromatics. Level of precision, refinement and vividness that is remarkable. Top top class. What a palate. Incredible fruit and so refined. My goodness this is one sexy, elegant wine. Wow. Chambolle 1er Cru like. So so pretty. Beautiful salty, cherry fruit, velvety and sweet tannins and just remarkable freshness and a 1/10th of a percent of opulence. The tannins are so sweet and refined but this does not come across as sweet due to the pointed minerality. So long. This will age decades but it is ridiculously great today. But ideally better and more integrated in 5 years. What a distinctive style here. — 6 years ago

Yeah, look...Fulvio's got problems. But secondary market 14-year-old Merlot (which is incredible wine, by the way) was available for $20. I'll take it. — 11 years ago

botanical garden: mint, basel, eucalyptus, lavender, cloves. Then some honey, caramel, a slight-to-me-great oxidation. Sounds of applause. — 12 years ago

Bressan. Nine generations of winemakers. Respect.

Very good pinot noir, wait, pinot nero. Herbs or green tea, spicy finish (pepper), some sweet fruity hints. — 4 years ago
