    December 10, 2018 - An absolutely dead-on Nebbiolo experience from the master. While not as complex or deeply rich as a great vintage ST, this was round, full of deep dark earth, had just enough of that cherry to provide input but not dominate, and a smokey wet oak taste lingering in the background. Some mild mushrooms and rough brush rounded ou the great experience. Little decanting needed.

    July 14, 2018 - The Kirsch Italian Extravaganza (677 Prime, Albany, NY): [Double-decanted around 2pm.] Huge black cherry nose. Shockingly big and rich for a 93. Long, complex, licorice, tar and plums. This has to be the wine of the vintage.

    May 19, 2018 - Very backward, nose never really showed much, also not after 2 hours. Material seems good, just introvert now.

    November 7, 2017 - This wine has taken a long time to emerge from its backward shell, but it has been worth the wait. Intense clove, allspice and black pepper aromas with lots of black cherry and liqueur hints. Same flavors, slightly more fruit centric with slightly less spice. Very good weight, length and balance.

    October 9, 2017 - Cubs Playoff Wines (Lake Forest, IL): Lovely wine showing dark aromas of black fruit and rose petal. Good concentration and nice black spices complement the bright acid structure. Very good sour cherry flavors through. Drink or hold.
