Clementine, orange et coriandre nez. Bouche sur l’acidité et le zeste d’agrumes. Taillé sur mesure pour des mets asiatiques entre le sucré et l’amer.

I support Thefatbastard's evaluation. Nose on leather, coffee, black cherry. The nose is great. The taste is less impressive, pretty faded, but good enough for a 2009 at that price in 2024. At least an hour decant is necessary.

Super belle valeur. Beaucoup de fruit noirs, du cuir, des violettes, mais une combinaison acidité + tannins qui rend le tout équilibré et parfait pour une viande rouge marinée. Carafer une heure.

Smoked meat and floral nose, dusty prune taste, a little too sweet and a little less powerful for my taste though. Many greater wines for the same price, including other amarones.

Listed as an orange natural wine, but the color is a glowing gold. The nose is on honey, almonds and apples. Mouth is well structured but with the silky feeling of a yellow wine. Same taste as the nose, but more subtle. Medium-long finish. Was good with spaghetti a la carbonara, and I imagine that it would also be nice with vietnamese dishes, or flavored sausages.

Cherry oaky nose, plum and coffee on palate. Fine grain tannins. Medium finale. Wonderful vintage, rich although tightly designed. Was great with osso buco.

2014 Fontanafredda Barolo Serralunga d'Alba

Nebbiolo more

3/31/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Likes this wine: 89 points

Couleur rouge sang, reflets brunâtres habituels des barolos vieillis. Nez de tabac, bois de santal, mûres. Bouche robuste, tannins modérés, fruit peu présent, finale courte. Un vin élégant, un peu rigide, qui aurait peu s’adoucir avec le temps, mais aux prix des arômes primaires et de la perte générale de son fruit. 2014 n’est pas un grand millésime pour les barolos, surtout à Serralunga, alors je suis content d’avoir ouvert cette bouteille sans attendre trop. J’ai hâte aux 2016 qui dorment au cellier!

3/28/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Likes this wine: 87 points

Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Un cidre (6.2%) et à 20$, qui goûte comme un pet-nat à 32$. Nez de pomme et de framboise, bouche de sureau et de fraise, très peu de pommes au palais, acidité rafraîchissante et bulles fines. À boire très frais à l'apéro, avec charcuteries. La bouteille se vide le temps de dire "tarte aux myrtilles"...

2012 La Stoppa Macchiona Emilia IGT

Red Blend more

3/24/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Likes this wine: 92 points

This bottle was not as powerful and has a little less depth than the first one, but it is still a strong sensorial experience. Maybe the 1 hour decant was too long before the tasting… The nose is deep, with flowers and black fruits mixed together. The mouth is fresh, with very smooth tannins, good level of acidity, lots of fruits even after 12 years and this smoky-dusty aftertaste that extends the finish a little more. Make sure to let the bottle vertical day before, to maintain the sediments at the bottom before pouring.

Léger bouquet fermier et floral. Bouche aqueuse et légèrement saline, douce amertume, peu de fruit, peu de tension. Bu à l'apéro, mais rien de bien spécial ne sort de cette dégustation.

2016 Compania de Vinos del Atlantico Rioja La Tercera Reserva

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

3/16/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Likes this wine: 88 points

Light Rioja, crimson/ruby color, cherry, cocoa, good tension and good level of acidity for a 2016. Don't look for the leather/mint/spices: not very present, but hints of it after it is been open for 3 hours. I would recommend it for any ground meat meal, or mediterranean/middle-east meat plate (ex: kefta).

2021 Donatella Cinelli Colombini Rosso di Montalcino

Sangiovese more

3/16/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Likes this wine: 90 points

Great balance in this wine. Pure red cherry on the nose and on palate, medium-high acidity, soft tannins, light oak, good tension. Not a long finale, and nothing tertiary, but defined enough to stay in the memory. Was very good as the first bottle to go with a (very mildly spiced) braised beef with vegetables + tomato rice.

2018 Barranco Oscuro Syrah Rubaiyat

Vino de la Tierra Contraviesa Alpujarra more

3/9/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Likes this wine: 89 points

I let this bottle open 3 hours without decanting and it was way better than the others that I drank. The cranberry is still there, but with Some plum and a bit of leather. Mouth was fresh, slightly frizzante, plum, dark cherry taste, but light and dry. Short finale. I kept the bottle vertical for days before, for there is a lot of sediments and the more you have those in your glass, the more you have to deal with a bitterness that crushes your palate and the aromas. Helped a lot to avoid that. Overall, the wine was tasteful, had an interesting personality and Worked very well with my lasagna.

Cherry soapy nose, herbal mouth, some leather, raspberry notes. Still (too) young: peppery tannins even after 3 hours decant. Good pairing with lasagna, but beware when there is no food left!

Needs a good 2 hours decant. Very oaky on the nose and palate. Currant, notes of spices. Lacks the usual minty freshness of great riojas. Could easily hold for more years.

2/23/2024 - Veni_Bibi_Vici Does not like this wine: 83 points

The nose is promising: deep dark and red fruit, almost like a syrah. Very interesting and rich. But the mouth is not as good. When it’s cool, Acidity takes away the fruit when it’s warm, the sugar comes back on palate. Not for my taste. I had trouble pairing it with something too. Tried pasta, then pork on next day, but nothing seemed to fit.

Très bel équilibre dans ce vin subtil. Un nez légèrement poiré, avec agrumes et romarin. Bouche de mandarines avec juste assez de tannins issus de la macération pour donner du corps sans tomber dans l’amertume et l’astringence. Au 2e jour, il a perdu de son mordant, mais glissait sur le poisson cru tout en douceur pour en rehausser la saveur.

Solid gran reserva. Needs 2 hours decant to reveal itself. Everything is there: oak, spices, fruit, freshness, acidity, depth. It’s close to its peak I think.

First day: deep purple color, blackberry nose, blackberry and black cherry taste. Still young. Will be more complex in 2-3 years.
Second day: still fruity, good level of acidity, the structure is still there.
Third day: surprisingly deep and fruity. Again, the youth is obvious, but has it’s advantages if you drink it over 3 days…

Nez de pomme verte, miel, assez floral. Acidité modérée, minéral en bouche, notes d’amandes, avec les arômes du début en rétro-olfaction. Beau produit bien équilibré mais qui manque un peu de caractère.
