Ceretto Barolo Bricco Rocche Prapo' 2004
From a small 6 acre estate-owned vineyard in the steep hills of Serralunga comes an onslaught of mineral, caramel, and cherry-laden aromas that are shockingly developed for such a young wine. However...
Vietti Barolo Villero 1991
If you can find it, buy it, as only six bottlings of Villero have been produced in the last 25 years. This is a densely constructed, low-yield beautiful beast with thyme, leather, and licorice broodi...
Poliziano Asinone Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2001
This is the finest 2001 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano that I tasted. A blend of 90% prugnolo with 10% merlot, the wine was named after the hump in a mule's back to show the steeply sloped shape of the...
Masi Amarone Mazzano 2001
Just when I thought it could not get any better, the Mazzano Amarone 2000 screams sexy beast extraordinaire. The black currant preserves, maple syrup, and dry wild herb and spice nose is wildly seduct...
Nino Negri Sfursat 5 Stelle 2003
This is a masterpiece that must be tasted to be believed. The nose alone is intoxicating. Big, non stop whaffs of roasted black plums, date fruit, and mint hit you first only to be foll...
Poliziano Le Stanze IGT 2002
The 2002 Le Stanze is an extremely enticing, ink colored blend of 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% merlot. Although there is a just hint of green pepper on the nose, vanilla, blackberry and ripe red cu...
Castello di Volpaia Coltassala Chianti Classico Riserva 2005
Extroverted but contained nose of whole plum, hickory, and dried cherries enveloped the nose but the palate is unmercifully attacked by velvety tannins and mature but not under ripe red fruit that is ...
Michele Chiarlo Barolo Cerequio 2003
The Barolo Cerequio 2003 was my personal favorite. Hideously attractive nose of asian spices, anise, dried fruit, and spearmint. bright cherries light up the palate and the depth of sto...
Terenzuola Vermentino Colli di Luni Fosso di Corsano 2007
Flint, mineral, and lime blossom aromas meet in the middle and create enough excitement to capture your interest immediately. But it's really the wine's structure, depth, complexity, and unyielding y...
Caprili Brunello di Montalcino 2004
Exotic aromas of focused and concentrated red cherry and rose-hips delight the nose while the high-toned modernly styled wine, based on peach, raspberry, and dried flower and fig, will certainly find ...
Scarzello Barolo Merenda 2001
Scarzello's Barolo Merenda 2001 is a wine of massive proportions yet beautifully balanced. Classic aromas of tar, dusty cherries, and dried flowers bring you in wh...
Poliziano Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone 2005
Complex and tightly wound nose of blackberry, tar, and sottobosco show serious girth. The wine's remarkable depth is upstaged only by the wine's balance and nerve as it proudly sports a solid spine f...
Ada Nada Barbaresco Cichin 2001
The Ada Nada Barbaresco Cichin 2001 shows an expansive nose of tobacco, baseball glove leather, and concentrated red plums. In the mouth blackberry, leather, thyme, and tobacco steal the show of this ...
Bibbiano Chianti Classico 2007
Underneath a stingy nose of smoke, roasted apple, and mushrooms, there are layers of roasted cherry, sottobosco, and black plum flavors that waltz along your palate from start to finish. This is a fi...
Milleuna D. Nero 2004
Wonderfully racy big-time mushroom meets strawberry shortcake nose. Serious concentration of blueberries and cocoa on the palate with a smoky component that adds complexity. Good balance and a long pl...
