2018 Roberto Voerzio Barolo La Serra

Nebbiolo more

4/16/2024 - BradA Likes this wine: 95 points

Fu$€ yeah!

Wow. This is one of the most interesting and incredible Barolo I have tasted. Purchased off list at a small Osteria in Novara Italy

So full

So ripe

Dry rose and cherry nose

Tannins that are dry and powerful yet yield
To the food. As a young wine, you don’t expect this level of finesse, but it’s there

A treasure

Bought off list at antica osteria la mura in Bologna. Wow, I did not expect such a full rounded wine at this age. Ripe fruit, balanced acid and no harsh edges. Really amazed at the level of maturity just 7 years from vintage. Will it hold up?!

Off the list at Lalibera in alba, Italy.

Served a bit on the cool side from their cellar. Over two ours, the wine blossomed into a floral beast. This is a sensational year for Barolo and Luigi Pira makes great wines. This their best of a great line up.

Drink 2028-2045.

2008 Paolo Scavino Barolo Cannubi

Nebbiolo more

4/10/2024 - BradA Likes this wine: 93 points

Tasted at Paolo Scavino

Andrea, the marketing Director hosted my family for a private tasting of the 2020 vintage. This was the last pour and was served blind. We knew it was a scavino wine, i guessed pre 2010 and post 2000.

As it had been open 24 hours, it was full, well rounded without any harsh edges. A pure delight and shining example of the skill and work the winery puts into their wines. It also serves as a gentle reminder to age these bottles as a wonderful wine experience awaits!

2020 Luigi Baudana Barolo Baudana

Nebbiolo more

4/9/2024 - BradA Likes this wine: 95 points

Such a great wine—. Tasted at Vajra along with their bricco and ravers. So elegant, but well structured, a lighter nose, but the power shows on the palate.

Drink 2028-2040.

Strong buy!

2020 G.D. Vajra Barolo Bricco delle Viole

Nebbiolo more

Their best wine

If you like Barolo, consider purchasing it. Tasted at the winery. Suave, well balanced and quite elegant. I will be really keen to see how the wine matures over the next 20 years. A winner.

White pepper and wonderful nose. Bright cherry finish and an amazing long close. While way to early to drink— good to taste and confirm this is a vintage to buy

Solid and a testament to the fine winemaking skills Jamie possesses. Crisp lemon, a tad bracing at times. Light straw in color with a very pleasant mid palate. If you were drinking it blind, one would peg it as a fine premier cru. Drink over the next five years.

2017 Luigi Baudana Barolo Cerretta

Nebbiolo more

3/24/2024 - BradA Likes this wine: 93 points

I love this wine…. All I need is a full glass and a Ragu of boar and salad…. So rich, full of stuffing and frankly a wine hard to not drink young.

Perhaps I will be able to restrain myself as the patient collectors will reap the rewards of Vajras work . Drink from 2027-2045.

What an intriguing wine. Ver soft and delicate with a good length on the mid palate. I would suggest this as pure elegance in the glass.

How will this age? I see this more as a mid term wine to be enjoyed from 2024-2035.

On its final glide path…. My last bottle from the vintage and still showing beautiful currant on the nose mixed with sandalwood. The fruit is soft and the core very mellow, but such a wonderful gentle glass to savor with a Saturday dinner of New York strips and fixings. Ahhhhhh!

A very suave and smooth merlot. A bit of chocolate on the finish and a seemless mid palate. A winery that has produced consistently excellent wines that are food friendly and a joy to sip.

Wow! What a wine. Oh my, a beautiful nose and a full palate of boysenberry. A dark core that envelops a youthful wine that will be a legend over the next 20 years.

Wow! What a wine. I like whites and don’t drink them enough, this will knock your socks. Big notes of pear, pale straw and a rich full finish. It’s seldom I use unctuous, but this wine exhibits it.

Great stuff!

Such an interesting wine. Really bold flavors as the Syrah gives you a tar & bramble profile. The backend doesn’t disappoint with and an intriguing finish of salt. I drank this over several days and was impressed as it did not weaken or loose power.

A good, but not great year for this winery. Deep cherry notes and a ruby red color in the glass. A tad sweeter than I expected as well. Less palate covering than I would have hoped for…. I was wanting more out of this wine.

A beautiful wine with seductive aromas of rose petals. While on the drier side, we all enjoyed the wine and it was excellent with lasagna. Leave for 3-5 years to soften and gain more depth.

11/21/2023 - BradA Likes this wine: 91 points

Wow, big bell pepper initially…. After 15 minutes, it has blown off showing red currants, deep core and a viscous body. While becoming more silky, I think it should cellar 5-7 years to round out. A nice value from Margaux at $55.

Very solid Pinot, juicy and well built. A tad bit of zing on the back. Enough stuffing to age for 3-5 years…. A very nice example of Oregon Pinot.

Hmmm, I just don’t get this wine. Others rate it much higher— a generous view IMO.

The nose is full of prunes, the mid palate is thin and it is clipped on the finish.

Over two nights there was little change nor any inclination the wine is going places.

Drink up.

A really well made wine—. I have not tasted many cali cabs, this was bought off list at the lovely Davenport Hotel in Spokane WA. A sensational place to stay


Anyhow, the wine. Smooth, zesty with dark cherry and a tanninic finish . Another questioned the longevity of this wine, I can see it showing well for at least 3-5 years. Will it last into the 30’s? Not in prime status.

Drink now and enjoy with a prime rib.

I like it a lot; really soft and dusty but it a good way! However, again I am quite surprised how rich and mature the wine is.. I will be drinking mine over the next 3-5 years.
