2012 Brancaia Chianti Classico Riserva
10/9/2016 - Anthony Lombardi wrote:
This casts a sense of relaxation & ease in the glass. The structure reveals a sturdy frame, but the Merlot addition adds a silky, inviting character here. The spicy nuances that I look for in Chianti are evident & the red fruited aromatics carry through the palate & show purity and depth/nuance in lovely balance.

2011 Paitin di Pasquero-Elia Barbaresco Sorì Paitin
10/8/2016 - Anthony Lombardi Likes this wine:
This immediately shows an open & agreeable aromatic character. This is an excellent example of the high toned, acid driven Nebbiolo. The tannins are the anchor here, but the red fruit positively shimmers across the palate. There is a keen sense of accessibility with this with a counterpoint of grippy nuance & silky textural complexity. Delicious with some braised lamb, but almost a meditation on Nebbiolo afterward by itself.

2014 Château d'Oupia Vin de Pays de l'Hérault Les Hérétiques
10/8/2016 - Anthony Lombardi Likes this wine:
Carignan from 40 year old vines. A 50/50 mix of barrel fermentation & carbonic. This is a brilliant means of handling Carignan. It has the powerful, brooding dark fruit, but also shows a youthful approachability as the structure is tamed somewhat. I frankly find it astonishing that this can be on shelves for ten bucks. It is a bit one note, but that note is a really good one.
