Community Tasting Note

Friday, April 21, 2023 - 2016 Quivet LPV vs 2016 Bulgheroni Lithology LPV.

Overall, a nice matchup for the evenly priced LPV offerings (at least, in the secondary market). I preferred the Lithology (Melka) while my wife preferred the Quivet (Smith). Classic LPV - blueberry, mineral, crushed river rocks. We had with sushi and over the course of the night, but agreed that the Lithology would go really well with a steak - which it did the following night for 1 remaining glass. I thought the Quivet was more austere, which is surprising for a Mike Smith wine. All notes aside, the pricing on Quivet has turned me off from purchasing given the large increases in the last few years.
