12/27/23, 7:45 AM - Love Bea Whites--have had the Lapidus and Arboreus and have Chiara in celler. Unique and intriguing, beguiling... Cheers!
8/5/23, 5:32 AM - Just picked up a 2021, and reading my notes on 2013 and yours, hmm, 2031 to open.
12/14/22, 4:08 AM - I've had numerous vintages, dating back to 2010, and when looking back at tasting notes see I've not let any go much beyond 6 years. That said, multiple different vintages have been excellent at 5-6 years. I have one 2015 left and I'll see how that fares.
10/25/22, 1:42 PM - Curious how you would compare to Paolo Bea's Arboreus or Lapideus, if you've tasted them.
7/17/22, 6:43 AM - That's unfortunate....
6/14/22, 2:06 PM - That's a pretty good line.
5/1/22, 4:19 AM - Well that sucks. Keep fingers crossed.
1/6/22, 4:50 AM - Pretty good read over breakfast coffee, lol...
1/2/22, 4:09 PM - Nice note, hoping you've nailed it vs Martin, with 6 in cellar.
12/19/21, 6:44 PM - Like what ben c said. Had one or two vintages not quite on par, but generally great stuff. I think of it like the grenache version of Collestefano verdicchio metallica.
8/1/21, 6:49 PM - Crazy, makes me look forward to it!
7/29/21, 2:03 PM - Drank quite a few 2019 Scott, this first one from 2020 was on par, but didn't tickle my tasting notes neurons I guess!
7/9/21, 4:54 AM - Hysterical and entertaining though I kind a think the wine was neither that good or bad, put it to a beat and there will be a new genre of rap, wine review rap.
6/11/21, 5:19 PM - Bummer
6/12/21, 5:31 AM - I've had more problems with chidaine, but then there's more in my cellar. It does seem an issue.
4/25/21, 6:03 AM - That's hilarious.
4/13/21, 5:27 AM - turbiana? trebbiano? I'm confused by the varietal designation here. love verdicchios too! qpr of both is often great.
4/9/21, 7:21 AM - Live in Boston area, but am in Philly so appreciated the tip and picked some up for this sweet price.
3/4/21, 5:32 AM - Cool to read your note, hard to find this varietal. The Pfeffingen is the best I've had. Very good qpr in my book too.
1/9/21, 6:48 PM - Spot on recommendstion. Exactly how I felt about it after my first bottle, if not if 2019.
11/13/20, 3:31 PM - This wine, going back a number of vintages, was one of several revelations along the way to becoming a sancerre fan.
9/1/20, 5:34 AM - Having just enjoyed a 2012 Montmain VV with a hint of premox, good move on the 2012--2012 Mdt will be up next as I came to the same conclusion after the '12 MMvv.
7/27/20, 3:56 AM - Not fully but on its way I guess.
7/12/20, 1:21 PM - They just make great wine don't they?
6/19/20, 5:26 AM - One of my favorite Barberas, I've got one 2010 left, and been kind of waiting on it to see how it ages. Barbera-fruity, full, luscious, but don't get much info on how tertiary flavors develop, perhaps for good reason. Anyway always cool to see a niche favorite pop up in tasting notes.
2/15/20, 4:16 AM - Short ribs sound like a perfect match. I last enjoyed a Bea Rosso with Osso Bucco, kissing cousin to ribs! Was a tasty pairing. Btw long decant makes a lot of sense, I felt the 2009 would improve with cellar time. Love his whites, equally interesting, even if off the beaten track to some palates. The Aboreous we had was one of the most interesting and delicious wines ever.
1/17/20, 4:33 AM - Is the score for the pizza or the wine? :)
10/2/19, 6:15 AM - so why a 58 score?
5/10/19, 1:13 PM - I'm with you, love 'em too. Great value in addition to great to drink.
4/26/19, 5:04 AM - cognitive dissonance at work, compounded by grade inflation perhaps?
4/25/19, 2:33 PM - now that's a tasting note with resonance....
12/31/18, 6:11 AM - Yup, not many wines make me immediately look for more, but this one had that 'pinch me I'm dreaming' quality to it.
10/27/18, 5:38 AM - Have not opened this one yet, but completely agree on how fine the Pattes Loup wine is from others I've had. Prices appear to be going up unfortunately.
9/20/18, 6:41 AM - Pretty entertaining. Always interested to hear about how different wine/food combos work out. This side by side was cool.
3/31/18, 5:08 AM - like that turn of phrase, 'had a baby...' cheers! btw have you tried the Viñedos Bernabeleva Vinos de Madrid Camino de Navaherreros? kind of family resemblance as far as the grenache side. Similar qpr to my palate.
11/7/17, 11:26 AM - I've read this same comment verbatim attributed to Parker, just curious ?
12/14/16, 6:37 AM - a variant on 'bottle in front of me or a frontal lobotomy' perhaps?
5/10/16, 6:40 AM - love it. election 2016 comes to cellar tracker. have to figure out what is the sanders or clinton woty. i do agree with the bottom line here.
4/19/16, 5:10 AM - Ben C--Quite voluble compared to usually pithy notes. Late at night perhaps or something? Mis-hits on keystrokes? Like to hear more on past to 2013 to 2014 in a slightly less cryptic form!
4/1/16, 9:51 AM - Enjoyed the detail and emotive impressions you crafted. Sometimes this just happens with wine. I am a fan of the Fiore, having first tried the 2010--and just purchased the 2012. Have you tried the Carato? I enjoyed the 2008 a lot (only vintage I have seen).
4/26/15, 7:00 AM - Indeed.
8/26/14, 7:24 PM - Great note. I may not have gotten all that on my encounter, but it captures the richness & depth of character.
7/12/14, 7:28 PM - hmmm yet you gave it 90 points? just curious.
