Major cork fail to start. The wine is much darker than a typical Nebbiolo. That being said the flavor profile was extremely good but it carried so much sediment it was a bit chewy.

Flaunting ripe apricot, peach, lemon, & clementine fruit. Balanced with brisk acidity and a bit of spritz for a lively lift. Bought at Schafer's February 2024 for 4 97.

had this 2 years ago and it was spectacular, hope the last bottle follows suit,
may try it soon, but I don't think any rush is necessary.

Langhe DOC Nebbiolo Blend, Nebbiolo more

2/27/2024 - Buff Tannen, USXFel Presidente wrote: 85 points

Bracingly tangy upon opening; suspect a triple blind would fool many

Days 2 & 3 show conventional cherry licorice, with only a whisper of meat to remind of the 2012's eccentricity. I suspect this is closer to what the winemakers prefer this to be, but I preferred its crazy older brother

Admittedly, I might be jaded

Overripe strawberry days 4 & 6. Insufficiently addictive to drink any quicker

4/23/2023 - dfcrutcher Likes this wine: 94 points

Light ruby color; no bricking. Wonderfully subtle and glyceriney. Soft berry fruit with a sturdy, if reduced, tannic structure. The stunning clarity of the wine is what jumps out. This is a classic old Barolo. What you hope all your younger ones will become.

No hurry, despite its age.

2016 Stefano Farina Barbaresco

Nebbiolo more

4/6/2023 - Folkmar wrote: NR

Nose: Clean, medium intensity aromas of red cherry, raspberry, rose petals, and hints of licorice and cinnamon.
Palate: Dry, medium-bodied with medium acidity and medium grippy tannins. Flavors of red cherry, cranberry, and black tea, with hints of dried herbs and tar. The finish is medium.
Conclusion: This is a well-made Barbaresco with balanced acidity and tannins. It shows classic Nebbiolo aromas and flavors with a medium finish. This wine is approachable now but could also benefit from further aging.

Decanted for 30 minutes - consumed over 2 days. The wine is clear red. Nose: funky, leathery - no fruit or other discernible scents. Palate; Thin, no fruit, acidic and medium + tannins. No change on day 2. Pointless wine.

This is a clean, balanced and pleasant Sauvignon Blanc wine with a nice varietal character. It is both fruity, structured and fresh, serving well as a companion with many kinds of foods. For 9 euros (in Tallinn, Estonia), this was a good buy.

This time, the camphor, violets, balsamic and mulberry are telling me Brunello, but with the structure melted away, just like it always does whenever people try Real Communism

7/18/2022 - thewiz Likes this wine: 92 points

(Decanted for one hour)
Deep red colour with a brick red hue and a maturing nose showing leather, sweet red berries and violets and some liquorice in a very pleasant way. Palate showing tannins that are evolved and very balanced on the finish. This is drinking very well now, but should reward some further cellaring.
(Best 2024-2039)

Chianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more

7/27/2022 - Buff Tannen, USXFel Presidente wrote: NR

Initially so smooth you could allow its dire simplicity and lack of animal spices to glide you through it's black cherry anonymity, but then you'd miss the dominant, and more enjoyable orange flavor of days 2 & 3, which, some granular tannins notwithstanding, could probably fool a few very blind tasters into thinking it was a fairly concentrated white. That said, it's pretty 1d compared to the same producer's similarly-priced 2012 le Brume
