2018 Domaine Guy & Yvan Dufouleur Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Nuits 16ème génération
4/21/2024 - WY Leonidas Likes this wine: 91 Points
Beautiful garnet. Aromas of red cherry fruit, minty herbs, wood spice, and something animal-like, tobacco. Medium bodied, bright red ripe cherry, vanilla, charred herbs, cherry pie! But without being grossly fruity sweet. Delicious young red raspberries.
Excellent for 20 bucks! Drinks so easily, and had a good balanced acidity. Easy on it's own or with food. Yum.

2016 Fattoria Viticcio Chianti Classico Riserva
4/14/2024 - WY Leonidas Likes this wine: 90 Points
Very dark opaque ruby with brick edges. Aromas of chocolate, cherry, chai spices. Silky smooooth tannins, with a perfectly balanced acidity. Milk chocolate, cordial cherry, leather and stone, and a hint of menthol on the finish. Feels like some Merlot in the blend, though wouldn't be totally surprised with all sangiovese.
Super easy to like and drink. Goes perfectly with Italian-American fare. Was hoping for more complexity, but this is a very good modern style Chianti, but still retains th character of Chianti.

2020 Feudi di San Gregorio Irpinia Dal Re
4/8/2024 - WY Leonidas Likes this wine: 90 Points
Deep garnet color. Textbook Irpinia Aglianico! Nose of leather, black cherry and blackberry. Pine, juniper, herbaceous. Medium body, with a bracing minerality/ acidity. Mushroom, juicy sour cherry, and spices lingering on the finish. Opened this a bit too young, but I find that the Irpinia Aglianicos do drink well around this age, particularly with food. Paired perfectly with a Napolitano Ragu. Yum!
