Paired with charcuterie board of Italian meats and cheeses. Round and plummy, thought it went well with the salt forward plate.

Nice chewy Barolo. Plummy at first with added depth after an hour and a half. Paired very well with beef Wellington

A big dark red, hint of plums. A little young, I’d let it age to get full benefit.

Excellent Chianti Classico - well rounded with good fruit and and nice finish. We drank it with chicken saffron. Not readily available in US. Had a case sent after a visit to the winery in Italy in 2019. Will be sorry when it’s gone from my cellar.

Finishing up our 4th case. Nice fruit with an average to long finish. As a daily drinker you can’t beat the value.

Uncorked this 22 year old Bordeaux to essentially nothing, maybe a 75. After an hour or so it opened up to about an 80. This wine demonstrates all wines do not improve with age.

Amazingly vibrant for a 13 year-old shiraz. Tannins mellowed, but it flattened out after 15 minutes or so.

By looking at other comments, it's clear that this wine needs cellaring. I should have decanted, but I didn't and found considerabel sediment in the 8 year old wine. Very nice on the palet, and long finish.

Bought a 3L from WTSO, drank with several friends over munchies. Light on the pallet, mild tannins. Enjoyed by both serious and casual wine drinkers alike.

Nice fruit, creamy with hint of melon. A tad in the sweet side.
