March 13, 2024 - JG’s mainly Barolo 2018s (Terra Rossa, London N1): Quite a brooding 2018 with all of the smart MGA fruit declassified into the "normale". There's a darker profile to this wine yet there are still strawberries on the nose and there is substantial concentration and interest on the midpalate that showcases the v pure fruit. Lovely balance again to this 2018. Really good and should cellar well.

February 10, 2024 - Very pure wine. red berries, stony, mineral on the nose. Very interesting. Very pure also on the palate with a very nice and complex body. Long finishing. Already nice for drinking and will only get better.

January 3, 2024 - PnP. Ruby with brick edge in color. Nose of violets, rose water, cherries and subtle leather notes. On the palate: bright cherries, sweet tobacco, beef jus and flinty, saline minerality. Chewy tannins are perceived on gums and cheeks. Long finish of red berries, rose water, red delicious apple skin and salinity.
Day two: wine really opened up...nose was more pungent, tannins were silky smooth and the cherry was moving towards morello. Will unsurprisingly benefit from more time in the cellar, but is approachable now (just decant it for ~2 hours).2 people found this helpful Comment
