Beautiful, young Falccianello. This was much more accessible than I anticipated and offered a great deal of structure. However, this will only improve with more time. Sit on this for another 5 years and then this should really be a great wine.

2014 Penfolds Grange

I get that Australia is going to be jammy but this was nothing more than a fruit bomb draped in too much oak. Not even close to being worth the price. Lacking complexity, depth, and interest. Unidimensional and uninspiring. Buy something else.

This bottle of wine was stunning. I know Dunn has a reputation for age worthy wines but I didn’t think I knew how she worthy. I’ve had Napa wine which is 30+ years old and none of them have tasted as fresh as this. The fruit has dropped but the levels to this wine was amazing. Absolutely a great wine. Drink now.
