2/17/2022 - Eric Guido Likes this wine: NRNo detailed notes other than to say this this is drinking beautifully. If you're sitting on a number of bottles, make sure to check in on the 2014 now to witness a moment of early maturity that is breathtaking. It's rich with dark red fruits, plums, leather and dusty rose. The tannins are present yet sweet and rounded all under an air of balsam herbs. Really fantastic stuff and with years of development in-store for us all.

2013 Fratelli Brovia BaroloNebbiolo more |
9/16/2022 - Rich S Likes this wine: 91 pointsDecanted for sediment. Medium dark garnet color. Nose of ripe red cherry, licorice, a bit of sweet baking spice and cedar cigar box. Very nice. Similar flavors on the palate with good concentration of red fruit. Medium+ acid, chewy tannin and a drying finish. Definitely enjoyable now with some air and food but plenty of life ahead and will likely be better in another 2-3+ years.

I literally have nothing to add other than I’ve had this bottle in my cellar since release and it’s aging at a glacial pace. Bravo!

2/27/2022 - KVM wrote: NRThin amber rim on medium red. Sour cherry, faint wood, cherry candy nose. Palate has cherry, spice cake, sweet feeling followed by good acid and slightly spicy finish. Solid but not deep or complex enough to be impressive. I have to say it is disappointing to cellar these bottles for a decade and have this experience. the next day the last glass from the bottle shows a little more depth and concentration.

12/18/2021 - EhrlichDY wrote: NRPopped and poured and enjoyed over 2 hours and with dinner. Ripe with notes of black cherry. Seems overdone to me and lacking Vosne typicity. Others mentioned that it's possibly shut down and I hope they are right.

2019 Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Chassagne-Montrachet Les AncegnièresChardonnay more |
9/22/2021 - Jeremy Holmes wrote: NRImmediately generous and giving on the nose. Loaded with sappy orchard fruits and cut with grapefruit acidity. It is dense and intense with a chalky base. Rich and powerful it fills the mouth with flavour but is light on its feet. Flavours drive on and on.

9/25/2021 - Drankard Does not like this wine: NRAll reduction on the open but eventually (after 3 hours) revealing hints of lemon but still reductive. Good structure and acidity but easy pass.

2016 Cantina del Pino Barbaresco OvelloNebbiolo more |
2/15/2021 - onivino33 wrote: 95 pointsWe drank this over 3 days, and its still growing and growing. Wow, so happy about it and so sad about the fact this won't be continued. This is great! Renato Vacca was one of the already big stars and still rising big stars in Barbaresco region. People who knew him were all attached and descriped Cantina del Pino as one of their favorites. The 2016 is very structured. It has huge potential, maybe the biggest ever from all the Barbaresco Ovello that have been produced. Deep and bright at the same time. Keep it! It's worth to wait! 95 for sure, maybe even more...

10/14/2020 - nigelb Does not like this wine: 85 pointsDisappointed. Lacked fruit. Coarse tannins, bitter aftertaste. There is some sweet fruit at start of palate and nose but then things go rustic. What will it do now?

2018 Domaine Dujac Chambolle-MusignyPinot Noir more |
11/14/2020 - Keith Levenberg Likes this wine: 94 pointsA beauty. When this wine has a good year it's easily 1er cru quality and I like it better than the Morey. Haven't had the Morey this year yet but this is about as good as the Chambolle's ever been. Bright hue bordering on magenta but the fruit is deeper and more developed, slightly plummy with a texture of pure Chambolle lace. The wood is a bit raw but shouldn't need long to absorb.

2011 Giacomo Fenocchio Barolo CastelleroNebbiolo more |
10/3/2020 - Robert Pavlovich Likes this wine: NRThis is evolving beautifully, and already turning secondary as the tannins have softened and the fresh red fruit flavors have opened up nicely since release, about five years ago. The fruit is accented with rose petal, light tar, white spice, and a surprisingly assertive herbal streak that I really enjoyed. Shows good, elevated acidity throughout. This wine is full of life and verve, and has a hard to find balance of elegance and power. Good versatility too, as it has enough fruit to drink well on its own, and also does well with food.

11/5/2018 - rossi.wine wrote: 93 pointsDark in colour. On the nose quite expressive showing notes of red and dark fruit, spices, earth, minerality. On the palate good fruit, great acidity, very powerful and grippy tannins. Quite tight and firm towards the finish. Very long and lingering. Lots of structure, great fruit underneath, but needs more time. 92-93+

10/4/2020 - Bwallace Likes this wine: 90 pointsNot the kind of 2010 I was hoping for. Started flat and expected to open up but never did even after a 2 hour decant. I liked it but didn't;t have the depth I was expecting from this vintage.

8/6/2020 - Rieslingfan wrote: NRConsumed on a night with no power, no lights and not a lot of sleep the previous two days, so take this with a large grain of salt. I found the wine rather hard and unyielding. It gave glimpses of what I normally find in M-G Bourgogne, but just didn't want to come out and play, even after being open a few hours. I was only allocated a few bottles, so I don't want to go back to the well again very soon. Will probably wait several years before trying again. Chalk it up to another reminder that 2020 just sucks.

5/26/2019 - Drankard Likes this wine: 91 pointsVery big for a BB with good structure to tame the exotic/tropical fruit flavors. I love this now but might need a year or two to settle down. Finishes well. |

2010 Marcarini Barolo BrunateNebbiolo more |
10/7/2023 - Pedroel wrote: 92 points4.5 years between bottles makes all the difference. I didn’t think it would get better, due to lack of fruit, but it shows well at this point. It has come in balance, with fruit, acid and tannins all working together. The fruit is classic Nebbiolo sour cherry dominant.

11/3/2017 - clayfu wrote: NRDecanted at the restaurant, consumed immediately. Needed that rush of oxygen to really bloom with that wild snappy fruit nose. Palate is far more textured and less silky than the bottle I opened a couple weeks ago (different retailers) and more in line with what I'm used to with Juge with that bright prickly minerality on the palate. Such a great wine, happy to share it with those that haven't tried Juge yet.
