Flight 1 (3 Notes)

  • NV Ca' del Bosco Franciacorta Cuvée Prestige 47ª Edizione Extra Brut 89 Points

    Italy, Lombardia, Franciacorta DOCG

    (12/28/2024)

    Very elegant sparkler, super dry, crisp, good mousse but it's a coiled spring at this stage. I would cellar it and look for some developments om the nose and palate after a few years. Don't serve too cold. I'd probably decant at this stage. Or fill the flutes before the guests arrive.

  • 2021 Luís Seabra Vinhos Douro Xisto Ilimitado 89 Points

    Portugal, Douro

    (12/28/2024)

    A serious wine with some complexities yet to unfold, needed a decant on account of the tannins which are very present. Elegant, pinot like in its perfume if not in structure. Long and fresh, liquorice, earth, berries.

  • 2022 Erath Pinot Noir Oregon 87 Points

    USA, Oregon

    (12/28/2024)

    Sweet red berries, some woodsy perfumes, oak on the nose but a very soft palate, medium bodied, short finish not entirely together but decent acidity and if you take it for what it is, it is actually a decent pinot fix for the not super wealthy.
