This was fantastic. Great weight and balance. Deep cherry flavors. Should age well in the medium term.

Slightly past peak maturity now. Drinking well with a fading fruit profile and nice secondaries.

Wow, this wine was incredible. Gave it a generous decant of 4 hours. Super delicious from the first sip when the cork was popped. Amazing complexity and vibrant fruit. Much better than I was even expecting after cellaring this for 15 years!

A beauty, so balanced with great fruit and acidity. Classic Roulot in style.

Enjoyed this. Nice balance with a medium weight and smooth tannins.

Thin and simple on the palate with an overly sweet finish. Love the whites but disappointed with my first taste of a red.

Easy drinking and quite delicious. Fresh cherry notes on a mid weight palate. Kermit Lynch import, so there is that.

Drank beautifully. Decanting was the key here as there is plenty of sediment and the wine really opened up with air. Lighter in texture but plenty of complexity. Can't believe I bought this bottle for $38!

Drinking nicely and open for business. On the lean side so I don't anticipate any upside from here.

I have some concerns about the intrinsic value of this wine just like Willi V. I own more of them. Very tight and austere. With air it slowly opened but never shined brightly. Not sure if this will ever be great.

The prior note from kohada is spot on. Tight initially, becomes more enjoyable with air. Has an earthy, dusty quality to it and a complex finish. Nice pair with marinara sauce and pasta.

This is very nice. Well made, round in style. Opens up nicely with air. Another winner from my favorite family in the Barolo zone.

Killer stuff and great QPR. Light and balanced with a touch of peach on the finish. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Will be back for more.

Nice and easy drinking. There are better bargains out there than this bottle given the price performance ratio.

Attractive wine with good fruit and nice balance. Light in weight and elegant.

This is great. Rich and full on the palate, great balance. Nice QPR.

Pretty tasty stuff from a can. For only $6 this is a fun drink and a good deal. Nice balance and fruit.

Really nice wine. Very drinkable and enjoyable. Cool packaging in an aluminum can.

Second bottle much more closed than the first. Lighter in style but not giving up the goods tonight. I'm still intrigued by this producer.

This is a fantastic Barbera made by my favorite family in Barolo. So inviting with great fruit and a velvety texture. Works great with red sauce pasta. Need to buy more of this. Bravo!

Consistent with the prior bottle. A nice easy drink but not to the level of better wines from this amazing Greek island.

11/26/2023 - JOsgood wrote:

Soft and polished with good blue and black fruits. Good length on the palate. Excellent complexity and texture on the palate. Very fine wine.

Great bottle. Beautiful red fruits with balance. Drinks effortlessly, should be a case purchase. Vajra kills it.

11/23/2023 - JOsgood wrote:

Nice with a light texture, gains weight with air. Still quite young.

This drank really well. Good depth and vibrant red fruits. Excellent balance.

This was a beauty. Perfect pair with the food at Quintonil in Mexico City. Great acids with length on the finish.

Wow, this is a real beauty. Been excited to try this producer (Barolo Girl) and it did not disappoint. Very feminine in style with big cherry on a light and elegant palate.

Really nice. Showing well with classic Sangiovese notes. Dusty tannins. Showing a bit of complexity. Love this producer.

This wine is a beauty. The other notes are spot on. Drinks really well with depths of complexity and classic Assyrtiko notes. Excellent QPR and very smart recommendation from K&L.

This is a solid Chianti Classico. Serious in construction and well made. Drinks well and food friendly. I'd buy more of this easily.

10/29/2023 - JOsgood wrote:

Appears not to be a successful vintage of this usually very solid and reliable wine. I found the wine disjointed, too sweet and generally too natural tasting.

Bottle was a bit advanced but still held considerable complexity and delicious factors.

Enjoyable with plenty of warm island fruit. Moderate complexity with a good finish. Love this producer and Greek whites in general.
