  March 26, 2024 - A poem, an immense wine. The duration on the palate is measured in minutes, with autumnal, balsamic, and fruity notes of macerated strawberries. Charisma and drinkability, it's impossible not to be drawn to a wine like this. Pure Perfection.
  
  Una poesia, vino immenso. La durata sul palato si misura in minuti, note autunnali, balsamiche e fruttate di fragoline in macerazione. Carisma e beva, impossibile non essere attratti da un vino del genere. Pura perfezione.

  March 2, 2024 - Vietti Rocche Vertical: PnP over an hour. Served blind. It was immediately apartment when this was brought out that it would be the star of the evening. Beautiful violet, red ruby in the glass. Aromas of dried leather, pomegranate, florals, cooked cherries, and smoked meats. The palate was smooth as velvet with layers and layers of brighter, powerful red fruits, with a fresh level of saline and acidity to round out this incredible wine. My WOTN and my WOTY so far! 96-97

  February 4, 2024 - La Festa del Barolo Masterclass (The Pool, NYC): The '15 Crichet Paje was the wine of the tasting that blew me away. Haunting aromatics of sweet red berry fruit and red florals w/ iron, smoke, and a hint of leather, a perfect combo of fruit & savory characteristics. Such a pretty wine with incredible sweetness on the palate, very fine grained tannins that are already integrating nicely, medium high acidity. Perfectly balanced. Seems like you could easily drink a bottle of this today, and my only question is if it will get better with age.

  February 3, 2024 - Festa dal Barolo 2019 Masterclass (The Pool, Manhattan): Festa dal Barolo Masterclass
  
  Oh my. A lung filling nose. It's deep with balsam, cooler nebbiolo fruit, spice and savory notes. On the palate, sapid and expansive without weight. Powerful yet effortless. Graceful. Deep. Very long. Seamless, effortlessly gorgeous wine. Very long on the back end with the usually coarser tannins of Paje yet finer. Effortless. Harmonious. Fantastic. 98

  February 3, 2024 - Vinous 2019 Barolo Masterclass (The Pool Restaurant, NYC): [“I’m the sorbeto.” -Luca Roagna]
  Herbal red fruit in the nose. Ethereal from start to finish. A wine of such finesse and quality. Explosive in the mouth. Amazing, a show stopper. I wanted to cry at the beauty of this wine. Sadly it is well over $1000 here in the US.
