October 13, 2023 - Single blind 89 Gaja Horizontal. Wow, stop you in your tracks good and a stand out tonight. Full, rich nose has a myriad of aromas ranging from pure red and black cherry, plums, spice, florals, wood and smoke. Palate is so decadent and rich yet precise and long. Sure this has some polish, but it's otherwise classic in every way. WOTN.

October 13, 2023 - Barbaresco vs. Barolo (Chicago, IL): Served single blind. Absolutely brilliant. Mature, but still on an upwards trajectory. Effusive nose of nebbiolo florals and red fruit. Ample weight on the palate without the feeling of heaviness at all. There's a coolness to the fruit which alongside the acidity provide that necessary lift. None of the high-tonedness I'd expect from Sperss either -- this was clearly one of the single-vineyard Barbaresco bottlings.

November 2, 2022 - This was drinking great tonight. Beautiful aromatics, fruit was deep, rich and opulent. Could have benefited from more air than we gave it with a pop and pour, as the structure here is still a bit taught, but it was in a great place, lack of air notwithstanding.

May 7, 2021 - Goodbye Dinner for a Friend Moving to Willamette (Osteria Langhe - Chicago IL): Open just an hour+ before serving. Red and black cherry from start-to-finish with licorice, clove and slowly braised beef. Brilliant aromatics with spice galore, almost as good flavors, still slightly firm near the expanding finish. Very good now, possible further upside.
