Nothing special, but was relatively cheap from Garagiste.

Easy to drink, light, it’s 30% Pinot noir and has the cherry that I frequently get from pinots.

Drinking well despite its age, nice fruit, good finish

Pretty disappointing Pinot, a bit acidic, no fruit

Really nice Chardonnay. A small amount of oak, so some toasted notes initially but very balanced with acidity. On the palate, I get some white peach, a modest amount of lemon

This is actually really nice for the price I paid. There is a fair amount of fruit initially but finishes dry and has nice acidity as well.

For whatever reason I like the second bottle a lot more than the one I had before. Don’t get the bitterness this time, still a lot of citrus, but a nice lingering finish.

Very acidic, even a little bitter, lemon flavors.

Delicious blanc de blancs, very wel balanced, some citrus, some apple, solid body. Wish I had more

Really nice Chianti Classico, good fruit, get some cherry and slight tobacco notes, very nicely balanced

Nothing special, don’t expect it to improve with time.

Needs more time. Very tight at the beginning, and even after several hours and into the following day while it did improve some, nowhere near its potential. Will need several years.

Needs more time. Very tight at the beginning, opened up some after several hours but still needs several years.

The last bottle I have of this, and for some reason it is worse than the others.

Fruit forward, but nicely balanced Pinot. Wish I had more than 1 more bottle at the price point I paid (~12 before tax and shipping).

Very nice Chardonnay, did not find it particularly oaky

Fairly acidic, some pear in the palate, decent finish

Lots of peach, but not much else

Required a lot of breathing but was very good after 7 hours or so, didn’t notice the high alcohol, a lot of fruit came through

Exceptional, very balanced blanc de blancs, nice finish, creamy, citrus, vanilla.

7/2/2020 - Stefano_nyc Likes this wine:

Drinking beautifully. Some raspberry, licorice, long finish. I did decant for 5 hours

Beautiful champagne, creamy, a bit of earth, some citrus but not as much as most blanc de blancs.

6/14/2020 - Stefano_nyc Likes this wine:

Balanced champagne, tastes more in line with normal champagnes using mixed grapes than a blanc de noirs. Very easy to drink.

5/27/2020 - Stefano_nyc Likes this wine:

Fairly jammy, plum, berries

Really nice blanc de noirs, great to have with food (we had it with sushi). I got some very nice peach on the nose.

Very nice sparkling rose, complete bargain

Very good for the price, if you don’t drink it super-cold get a fair amount of grapefruit on the palate

Very nice cava, well balanced, despite being brut nature it isn’t overly acidic

Very nice, surprisingly drinkable given its alcohol content (16.5%!) dark fruits, nice finish.

Very nice but have had numerous champagnes that were its equal at substantially lower prices

Drinking very well now, decanted for an hour. Good body, some dark fruit, decent finish.

Really great Sangiovese. Long finish, nice fruit, warm. Not too tannic, decanted for 3 hours.
