Red	2020 Cordero San Giorgio Oltrepò Pavese Tiamat Pinot Nero, Pinot Noir more	Options Post a Comment View David Paris (dbp)'s profile Report Issue 5/19/2024 - David Paris (dbp) wrote: 90 points This has been open for a couple hours now. Aromas are on the lighter side for Pinot, showing a good balance of nice light fruit and some earthiness. Palate is light in body, showing notes of underbrush, herbs, light strawberry tones, and as its held in the mouth, acid does begin to build, but it doesn't present very obviously upon entry. Builds some froth. Nice soft, integrated acidity on the finish with nice light red fruits and soil spice. Overall a pretty simple wine, but put together very elegantly. A very nice wine for the cost of entry, and always fun to have Pinot from a place like Lombardia. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Red	2005 Balgera Valtellina Superiore - Valgella Riserva Nebbiolo more	Options Post a Comment View mattym19's profile Report Issue 5/17/2024 - mattym19 wrote: NR By the bottle at The Hub at Weston in Weston, VT. This needs crazy amounts of air. Nose is full of old library books, soy sauce, VA, finally coming around to clay and cherries after like 2 hours in the decanter. Palate is sharp with more VA, raisins, a ketchup-y umami with a violet hard candy finish. Light body and tannins are pretty resolved. I don’t think it's flawed but maybe poor storage? Or just way over the hill? Or maybe way under the hill? Lol I have no idea. Probably wouldn’t order again though. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

White - Sparkling	2016 Bosio Franciacorta Nature Millesimato Franciacorta DOCG Chardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more	Options Post a Comment View Thomas D.'s profile Report Issue 5/17/2024 - Thomas D. wrote: 84 points Not bad, a bit overdone, too much oak for me, toasted quite a bit and then this „fat of the land“ feeling makes the whole wine unbalanced, running around with all its sexiness and insulting everybody with clumsiness - wait a minute, this is 2016? Then it is even worse, need to downgrade the rating even further, what a pity 😬 N. With sweetness, vanilla and a huge ton of wood, toasted of course and fried in cheap palm oil and butter, there is also some mineral notes and typical flowers and green notes, but the Titanic is sinking much to fast … T. Not so much better, more manspreading, infantile boltness The Bosio Franciacorta Rose was very good, had that earlier this week, need to do a rating. Coming from this direction I wonder wether the Nature is some kind of mistake?! Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Perfect on a late spring day. Lots of citrus (lemon, grapefruit) and almond. Fine mousse with brioche. At under $30, this is a good QPR. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

I would add only that this wine has a wonderful texture even at only 8 yrs past vintage. It was a great find on a Milan restaurant wine list. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comment
White - Sparkling	NV Nicola Gatta Blanc de Blancs Spumante Nature 50 Lune Vino da Tavola Chardonnay more	Options Post a Comment View GEL Wines's profile Report Issue 5/10/2024 - GEL Wines Likes this wine: 91 points Excellent. Zero dosage, no added sulphites (32 mg/l), 50 "moons" on lees, BdB. Complex, mineral expression of limestone. Fine perlage. Adjacent to Franciacorta. Delicious if fully priced at list price.

Suitability for bottle ageing: Not suitable for bottle ageing. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Linear citric nose with elements of white chocolate and a nice smoky overlay, but ultimately rather narrow aromatically. Citric palate with a notable lack of freshness. Probably didn’t help that this followed 2 bottles of fresh, acidity-driven Champagnes. Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No / Comment

Red	2022 Barbacàn Alpi Retiche Rosso Chiavennasca, Nebbiolo more	Options Post a Comment View penguinoid's profile Report Issue 5/12/2024 - penguinoid Likes this wine: NR Colour: medium(-) translucent ruby Nose: medium(+) intensity, secondary, youthful. Red plum, strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate. Blueberry? Strawberry jam. Ripe tomatoes, tomato stem. Cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla. Palate: dry, medium(+) tannins (fine grained, smooth, sandpapery, well integrated), medium acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium(-) bodied. Medium intensity, medium(-) length finish. Red plum, strawberry, cranberry, pomegranate. Blueberry. Strawberry jam. Ripe tomatoes, tomato stem. Cedar, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla. Conclusions: good. Quite interesting! Clearly Nebbiolo but quite different to Barolo or Barbaresco. I think this from somewhere near Valtellina? Can drink now, but suited to further ageing. P&P (pop&pour), not decanted.
