2013 Giovanni Manzone Barolo BricatNebbiolo more |
11/6/2023 - swapdoc wrote: NRTastes of ageing yet under-ripe fruit tinged with some green tannins. Aromatically subdued as well, smelling of autumn leaves and tea. |

2018 Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand Chardonnay Arbois Pupillin "La Bidode"more |
11/13/2022 - swapdoc wrote: NRExpected a more oxidized Jura style chardonnay. Found instead an elegant expression of unoaked Chardonnay that envoked Burgundy, perhaps less rich and fleshy but delicious overall. Lovely discernable notes of ripe apples, white flowers, hint of tropical fruits and bees wax. Good. |

2010 Máté - Podere il Falconaio Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
4/6/2022 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRA tasty, nuanced Brunello. Wood accent is noticeable, particularly on day 2, touch of walnut. One of few recent instances where this oak accent enhanced the overall taste. The wine is fresh and balanced; no hint here of stewed, jam-like fruit -- in fact wanted it a bit sweeter in the finish. Nice balance, acidity, deft flavoring. A Lovely effort. |

2009 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Tenuta NuovaSangiovese more |
3/6/2022 - swapdoc Does not like this wine: NRSame raisiny aroma as when tasted in 2015. Over ripe fruit. This wine was selling at a discount in '15 for now obvious reasons. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (2) |

2020 Alemany i Corrio Penedès Principia MathematicaXarello more |
1/28/2022 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRVibrant, juicy, high acid, cidery, not too sweet fruit accented by a touch of grapefruit pith like bitterness. Very savagnin like, hint of oxidation, lemon, taste of prolonged skin contact, yet elegant. Fresh, unique, liked it a lot. |

2010 Poggio San Polo Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
11/10/2021 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRDrinking well now. Complex ripe fruit, acidity and perfect overall balance. Really enjoyable now, may improve still. |

2010 Marziano Abbona Barolo PressendaNebbiolo more |
11/8/2021 - swapdoc wrote: NRModern barolo, dark fruit, some wood, bit heavy and stogy. Never quite opened up, best after a few hours of aeration. Possibly may find a better balance after a few more years of cellaring. |

2011 Tua Rita Giusto di Notri Toscana IGTRed Bordeaux Blend more |
11/8/2021 - swapdoc wrote: NRBlue fruit, cocoa, hint of vanilla. Cab taste with some earthiness and wood. Medium acidity, long finish. Average overall now; balance and complexity may improve with another year or two in the bottle. Wait/drink. |

2006 Renato Ratti Barolo MarcenascoNebbiolo more |
11/3/2021 - swapdoc wrote: NRBright, tasty fruit from a pristinely cellared bottle. Comes through as vibrant, fruit forward wine, with plenty of supporting residual tannins present still. Cranberry tart, clove, hint of earthiness. Can improve in the bottle still. |

2003 Domenico Clerico Barolo PajanaNebbiolo more |
11/3/2021 - swapdoc wrote: NRNeeds air and time to open. Still tannic in the finish; the fruit shows traditional bold zesty and tart nebbiolo flavors but also shows a streak of stewed plum -- a reminder of the searing 2003 summer. With time, this flaw may become more apparent. |

2009 Fossacolle Brunello di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
10/16/2021 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NREnjoyed this wine yet again. The fruit is ripe and a bit rustic, a welcome change from a number of more polished Brunello wines I've tasted recently. Aroma shows earthy, smoky touches in addition to the barique influenced baking pastry-like sweetness. Still evolving, no hurry here. |

2011 Elio Altare Barolo ArborinaNebbiolo more |
9/27/2021 - swapdoc wrote: NRSweetness and aroma of a ripe nebbiolo is almost entirely hidden by the wood influenced notes of oak, celery root. The wine is still tannic with sleepy or smothered fruit, wait. Loved the barolo boys' story, not so much the wines it inspired. Hope someday to see the pendulum returning back toward the fruit forward, less wood manipulated wines. |

2010 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barolo Vigneto GarrettiNebbiolo more |
9/17/2021 - swapdoc Does not like this wine: NRFloral, perfumed, oak influenced wine, youthful still and tannic. Volatile aroma of stems; taste of strawberry, celery. Wood treatment added a slick, perfumed characteristic. An average modern expression of barolo; a cheap cork tells you what the producer thought of this effort. |

2012 Tenuta Greppo (Biondi-Santi) Rosso di MontalcinoSangiovese more |
4/27/2021 - swapdoc wrote: NROpened a bit lean, fleshed out with air. A classical nose, just the right balance between earthy and fruity profile; a taste highlights strawberry and leather notes. More harmonious and fuller on the second day, but the the fruit still comes of as under ripe. A good rosso, but just that. |

2010 Fattoria Galardi Terra di LavoroRoccamonfina IGT Aglianico more |
5/23/2021 - swapdoc Does not like this wine: NRA mature wine, drinking older than it is. Wood tannins in the finish. An over-barriqued wine that over-promises in its youth but ultimately under-delivers on fruit, typicity and balance. 2 people found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2018 Aphros Vinho Verde Loureiro Brancomore |
5/14/2021 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NRFresh fun wine; chenin blanc like acidity and sweetness. Lemon sorbet/peach like taste, long finish. Steers clear of a grassy and grapefruit savignon blanc comparison, unique in its own way. Good. |

2013 Domaine Overnoy-Crinquand Chardonnay Arbois Pupillinmore |
2/7/2021 - swapdoc Likes this wine: NROxidative notes, elegant fruit and acidity in the finish. Balanced and delicious, a typical Jura expression of chardonnay. Orange wine like grape skin aroma, tangerine rind oils, off sweat, energetic and fresh. Good. |
