2016 Brash Higgins Nero d'Avola NDV
4/28/2024 - richard.presser Likes this wine: 90 Points
Medium red. Some deposit. Nose of red cherries, herbs, amphora lift and complexity. Lavender. Wonderful and most unusual.
Palate is sweet red cherries, lighter style, quite acid but not overly so. Would it have been better drunk young? The pundits thought so.
I’m going to keep my last bottle for some time to see what it does. I’m quite curious about it. Beautifully pure and clean for a complex, long winemaking process - 180 days on skins in beeswax lined amphorae…

2020 Dirupi Rosso di Valtellina "Olé!"
4/26/2024 - richard.presser Likes this wine: 88 Points
Medium deposit. Light red. Lovely red fruits. Cranberry.
Light to medium weight. Nebb tannic structure, though balanced. Beginning to lose its youthful fruit.
Drink up.

2020 Domaine Lucien Lardy Fleurie Les Moriers Vieilles Vignes de 1911
4/25/2024 - richard.presser Likes this wine: 90 Points
Slight deposit. Medium-deep red.
Dark plum aromas with mint. Pristine.
Fruit richness with the floral lift of Fleurie. Fruit has closed down somewhat, leaving the acid showing. Just a baby.
I will give the rest a decade. 110yo vines…
