The wine showed an evolving tertiary quality but without the diminution of fruit over a hour. Still vibrant red current, hibiscus tea, sour cherry, with a forest floor, mushroom broth, and ferrous undertone. Impeccable and lingering finish.

Wine in the Sunshine State; 2/20/2020-2/23/2020 (Florida): In a pretty amazing line-up of wines and this got a bit overshadowed I think. Or at least I don't remember it as clearly as some of the others. All wines this night were good though and I liked it.

Italian Dinner Chez David (David's Place, Mpls): Medium red, ultra murky with heavy sediment. PNP, drank a glass over an hour. Ooh yeah, these are delightfully complex, dank basement on the nose followed by blood meal, cherry, dried spice, and crushed flowers. The palate has a lot of tart cherry and red currant, iron and forest floor. Medium bodied with round pretty tannins, long and beguiling. This is one to seek out.

Emidio Pepe wines with Chiara De Iulis Pepe: A pronounced acidity attacks on entry, red fruit and barberry flavours, light to medium bodied. Aromatically and on the palate this is reminiscent to a Barolo with 30-40 years of age. Lighter, but very enjoyable.

Once again, I do not typically rate wine not from my cellar. This is a special situation though. Roses. Black olives. Aged balsamic. Perfect dryness and sweetness.

1994 is quite a Burgundian vintage for Emidio Pepe, offering up a lovely nose of high-toned griotte and black cherry, bitter herbs, balsamic tones and tree bark. On the palate the wine is juicy, expansive and acid-driven, and aging very gracefully. A delicious wine from a cooler vintage.

Medium + Intensity, Dark purple with sediments (unfiltered). Medium nose of leather, hint of black cherry still. Soft tannins, with light acid and smooth medium finish. Nice wine. Montepulciano grape

Needed a decant to come together (approx 3hrs) a lighter more graceful pepe. Very old Barolo like. This was a library release with a 2014 cork.

Friends Fall Gathering; 11/11/2016-11/12/2016 (Fresno): I suspect storage issues as this bottle was oxidized showing lots of VA. Not really any of the character I love from this producer to be enjoyed, dumped.
