2007 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta NuovaSangiovese more |
9/2/2023 - WhineEnthusiast wrote: 80 pointsSo weird/ disappointing. 2 bottles, both pristine, great corks. One tasted like great brunello (though with a touch of raisin I probably wouldn’t otherwise note/comment on) the other tasted like raisiny desert wine. Wish i could say the latter had gone bad-but it didn’t seem like a corked bottle. Just bad wine. Take the notes of bottle variation from others here very seriously. |

2/18/2020 - pgb67 wrote: 91 pointsOne of my favorite Italian wines because it of its consistency - with notes of red plum, fig and cherry, accented by tobacco and spice. This picked up steam over time and seems to have plenty of life left. Good acidity and overall flavor.

2007 Ciacci Piccolomini d'Aragona Brunello di Montalcino PianrossoSangiovese more |
9/7/2019 - guido23 Likes this wine: 92 pointsNice Brunello - pretty classic at first but became a little modern over time. Nice tannins, robust flavor, but a little lean on the finish. Popped and poured; consumed half immediately and half 24 hours later.

2007 Giovanni Rosso Barolo CerrettaNebbiolo more |
9/10/2019 - swapdoc wrote: NRGlad to had tasted this wine in its youth. Mature now, with just a hint of aromatic complexity peaking though mostly integrated muted fruit. Woody flavors dominate, tea-like tannins, linear mature fruit; lacks complexity and vibrancy. Seems to have aged too quickly compared to the still evolving '01. Hot vintage? Too much oak?

2010 Poderi Aldo Conterno Barolo RomirascoNebbiolo more |
11/24/2014 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRPiedmont -- Aldo Conterno Winery Visit: 6 wks on the skins, 32 month in wood (?). An amazing wine. Spicy, rich nose of sap, roses, meat. Long, with a gorgeous balance between mineral wild berry juice, ripe fruit, and integrated though present tannins. Complex nose, soil close to Cicala in composition, rich in blue magnesium. Conterno did produce Gran Bussia in ’10; yet Romirasco is GS, for all practical purposes. Tasting ’10 Romirasco next to ’06 Gran Bussia (70% Romirasco, 15% each of Colonello and Cicala) shows just what a tremendous value Romirasco is. This wine should be and will be selling for the price of GS – grab it while you can. The best ’10 Barolo I’ve tasted. Described Aldo Conterno Baroli in the past as Burgundian in style, but this is different. The heft, viscosity is more reminiscent of a Guigal single vineyard Cote Rotie. Galloni is simply off the mark with this gem.

2015 Kumeu River Chardonnay Hunting Hillmore |
8/8/2018 - BenBlu Likes this wine: 92 pointsAfter having enjoyed 6 bottles of this over the past few months I am going to back paddle a little bit with my score. Previous note still largely holds but probably after drinking this a couple more times I feel that the slight lack of further evolution in the glass with air, a touch (too) high alcohol for my personal preference (although this is hardly noticeable) prevents me from holding onto my initial very enthusiastic score. This is remains a great Chardonnay with fabulous QPR and gives immense and immediate pleasure whenever you unscrew the cap - with no bottle variation. Going to let my other case rest now and cracking into it next summer.

3/31/2018 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRA gorgeous wine. Aroma of fruit, beef broth, liquor. Big dollop of dark sweet cherry accented by walnut and earthy aroma, finishing with a lift from a minty afterglow. Vibrant, fresh, complex, balanced, mature and delicious.

2013 Pecchenino Barolo San GiuseppeNebbiolo more |
4/4/2017 - Tim Heaton Likes this wine: NR{Grandi Langhe, 2017} Wow, such an impressive wine. In the past, I've gravitated toward Le Coste as my favorite of their (two) Barolo wines, but it's becoming harder to choose a favorite, as the quality of their Barolo offerings just continues to get better, their touch is light, yet the result, substantive. An elegant wine that will need several years in the cellar before it's truly ready to face the world, and even then, it'll just be getting going. There are now 3 Barolo offerings: San Giuseppe, Le Coste and Bussia, and I'm an enthusiastic buyer of each one. highly recommended

2011 Mocali Brunello di Montalcino Vigna delle RaunateSangiovese more |
1/26/2017 - swapdoc wrote: NRTinge of violet in the color. Black cherry taste, juicy and mineral wine. Stylistically recalls Maremma based sangiovese -- plums, dusty cherry, maybe simple but smooth mid section, juicy finish with echoes of berries and bright fruit; thinking of Poggio Valente '12, Cepparello '11 style of wine making. Not surprisingly, Mocali makes several Maremma based wines. Some residual finishing tannins but an easy drinking wine now. Still immature, but there is nothing that recalls rich but flat, fruit forward, candy wine that is a hallmark of some '11 wines.

1/4/2017 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRSea breeze kissed cabernet, soft and supple. Completely resolved tannins. Some cab franc on the nose, mixed with cassis, flowers, cedar and a hint of toasty oak. Drinks easily. A perfectly aged mild cabernet; actually 40% cab, 40% merlot, 20% cab franc. Thank you Chris for this enjoyable bottle.

2010 Lisini Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
5/3/2016 - swapdoc wrote: NRWanted to like this wine more than I actually did. This wine stood out as intensely mineral and skewed toward plum and blueberry aromatics upon release, but now shows a touch of bitter Slavonian oak and a closed, non-expressive generic red fruit. Layered, sweet and perfumed dark cherry fruit is lurking deep in the background. Needs time for the wood to integrate fully.

2010 Poggio al Casone La Cattura Toscana IGTTeroldego more |
2/12/2016 - CTAnderson Likes this wine: 88 pointsI really enjoy this Trader Joe's find. Unlike most "Super Tuscan's," this mostly Sangiovese (80%) blends with Syrah for a very balance wine that does not shy away from the fruit, but balances with body and sufficient tannins. I would even venture to say this could lay down a couple more years.

2010 Altesino Brunello di Montalcino MontosoliSangiovese more |
3/2/2015 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRAltesino Winemaker Dinner (La Pizza Fresca Ristorante): Young and brash wine, with a profile of bright red fruits, pomegranate. Feral aromatics are front and center here. The wine is supple, dancing on the palate, showing hazelnuts, succulent berries. Plenty of length and minerality here; playful but too tannic to fully enjoy now.
