2015 G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole 93 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Pale ruby with slight fading edges. Pronounced nose with floral rosy aromas and some cherry and cloves. Tannins are big, though somewhat rounded perhaps from the decant, bright acids, and a fairly good weight and with a good floral and fruit intensity, to the point of being voluptuous. Definitely feels of a modern-styled Barolo, and a well made one at that

Pale ruby. Nose seems to be slightly subdued, but shows much more on the palate. Tannins were high, but linear and clean, with bright cherry fruits of medium ripeness, as well as the classic roses and tar. With that clean palate, it surprising led to a long persistent finish. Great wine!

2013 Travaglini Gattinara 92 Points

Medium ruby. Quite a good intensity on the nose and palate, and a good weight. Aromas and flavours of cherry, cloves, roses and tar. Good structure with intensity to boot

2015 Mamete Prevostini Valtellina Superiore - Sassella Sommarovina 92 Points
Italy, Lombardia, Valtellina, Valtellina Superiore - Sassella
Pale ruby. Aromas of roses and some greyish stones. High tannins, but nicely balanced with bright acids and fairly strong flavours, of red cherry, tar, and roses, as well as a nice savoury briny sense. Nice!
