11/24/2023 - ryestraw wrote: NRAfter about 4+ hours in the decanter this came together. Strong port-ish flavors and not to everyone's liking, but for a 56 year old wine, this was quite good. |

12/4/2022 - ryestraw Does not like this wine: NRSad to say that this bottle was showing more age than fruit. Nothing of note or super compelling showed up during the 3 hours with this open. |

11/1/2022 - ryestraw Likes this wine: NRPNP and totally delish. The most pronounced bell pepper nose I've ever smelled. Drink up. |

9/2/2022 - ryestraw wrote: NROkay, 2 years later: it was kind of out of control on night one, with the beauty of the Nerello buried under heat, acid, and general unrest (for lack of a better term). Yet on Day 2 this is dreamy: bright cherry, well balanced, all the notes of terroir and dirt and what we expect from a well-built Etna Rosso. |

9/30/2021 - ryestraw Likes this wine: NRQuite a bit of barnyard upon opening. In a word, simply delicious, though nothing simple about it. Totally savory and delicious. For $40 from Garagiste it's a deal, and then 8 years of patience,the wine is now singing. |

2000 Clos l'Église (Pomerol)Red Bordeaux Blend more |
9/20/2021 - ryestraw Likes this wine: NRDecanted for about 90min. Lovely in every way. Certainly ready to drink now, but still some youth if you choose to hold. |

3/5/2021 - ryestraw wrote: NRStumbled upon an extra bottle I had and so glad I opened it. This wine is at a perfect stage and a beautiful representation of slightly aged Nerello. Night two was even better. Soft, still fresh, luscious with a touch of dirt. None of the bite of earlier bottles. Might it get better? Not sure I could ask for much more than where it is now. |

9/22/2020 - ryestraw Likes this wine: NRPopped and poured. Cork a bit strange popping out, but really in great shape. Rich and delicious Nebbiolo. Tannins refined and gentle, yet still very present at 19 years old. I wish I had a lot more. |

9/11/2020 - ryestraw wrote: NRMaybe this has gone to sleep for a bit? Too bright, hot, and just not enjoyable on night one (even in a decanter for an hour). At 48 hours was beautiful — just a lovely expression of Nerello. |
