  June 6, 2019 - Tasted blind. Cocoa powder, pine needles, cigar wrapper, cedar, iodine, cherry cordial. Dense, musky, and complex. Very much like a drier Dal Forno recioto, which is what I guessed. Very large amount of sediment here, beware.

  June 3, 2019 - I have to say I was a little underwhelmed by this. Perhaps my expectations were too high, but I found it merely very good, but lacking in the "wow" department. Certainly plenty of structure and body, but I did not really dig the earthiness of it.

  May 24, 2015 - Wow, this was amazing. Tawny in color and a little pruney on the nose, but the taste overload just kept coming. Predominate flavors of dried figs and other fruits, integrated with clove, persimmon, spice and earth. A long, lingering finish that's not too sweet with hints of maple syrup. Watch for the sediment though..Loved it!

  May 14, 2015 - G. Conterno Barolo vs. L. Sandrone Barolo (Morrell Wine Bar and Café, NYC): Complex and fascinating. If I hadn't drunk so much so far, I would have liked to spend more time with this. Only mildly sweet. Very good with chocolate biscotti.

  May 14, 2015 - Vinous group dinner at Morrell. Delicious dessert wine. The balanced palate is alive with dried figs and finishes with a lush and refined sweetness.
