Verbiage

“Enticing scents of baking spice, pressed violet and wild berry take center stage on this fragrant elegant red. The smooth savory palate doles out juicy black cherry, ripe blackberry and licorice alongside polished fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink through 2026.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Mar. 1, 2019
Private: Conterno Fantino Private: Barbera d’Alba “Vignota” DOC 2016 Wine Spectator 28/02/2019 92
Verbiage

“Saturated with blackberry, black currant and violet flavors, with a hint of licorice, this red is intense and lively. Finishes with density and a light dusting of tannins. Drink now through 2023.” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019
Private: Conterno Fantino Private: Dolcetto d’Alba “Bricco Bastia” DOC 2016 Wine Spectator 28/02/2019 91
Verbiage

“Tight and edgy, featuring a firm structure exercising grip on the pure violet, cherry, blackberry, plum and earth flavors. With a little aeration this turns supple and rich, revealing a hint of bitter chocolate on the finish. Drink now through 2023.” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019
Marcarini Barolo Brunate DOCG 2014 Wine Spectator 28/02/2019 91
Verbiage

“Like a garden after rain, this smells like mint, floral, dusty cherry and wet earth. Licorice and sandalwood notes chime in as this builds to a lingering aftertaste. Elegantly rustic, in a traditional style. Best from 2022 through 2035. ” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019
Poderi Einaudi Barolo Ludo DOCG 2014 Wine Spectator 28/02/2019 91
Verbiage

“Bolstered by a sheen of oak, this red also evokes cherry, plum, earth, tobacco and leather flavors. Rich and fruity, balanced by firm tannins that linger on the finish. Best from 2021 through 2033.” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019
Poderi Einaudi Dogliani DOCG 2014 Wine Spectator 28/02/2019 92
Verbiage

SMART BUY “Bright and juicy, displaying pure cherry, blackberry and floral aromas and flavors. The vintage’s dense tannins are present but well-integrated. Fine length. Drink now through 2024.” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019
Cascina Bongiovanni Barolo “Pernanno” DOCG 2014 Wine Spectator 28/02/2019 93
Verbiage

“A tightly wound version, this red features cherry, plum, eucalyptus, iron and tobacco flavors on lockdown. The trim, compact finish isn’t yielding much today. Shows a bit more volume and sweet fruit than many of its peers. Best from 2023 through 2042.” -B.S., Wine Spectator, Feb. 28, 2019
Private: Montaperto Chianti Classico DOCG Gran Selezione 2016 Vinous 22/02/2019 90
Verbiage

“The 2016 Chianti Classico Montaperto is done in a ripe, forward style that will make it easy to drink and enjoy upon release. The Montaperto is not especially complex, but it offers lovely depth quite a bit of immediate gratification. This is an especially fruity, racy Chianti Classico.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2019
Private: Chianti Colli Senesi DOCG 2017 Vinous 22/02/2019 89
Verbiage

“The 2017 Chianti Colli Senesi is soft, fruity and delicious, with all of the natural richness of the year front and center. Black cherry, tobacco, menthol and spice notes all flesh out in this unusually deep Chianti from the Colli Senesi appellation. The darker, more muscular side of Sangiovese comes through nicely.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2019
Supremus Supremus Toscana IGT 2013 Vinous 22/02/2019 89
Verbiage

“The 2013 Supremus is a Sangiovese-based blend with dollops of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Mocha, espresso, new leather and spice add aromatic nuance to a core of dark cherry fruit in this nicely layered, inviting red.” -Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb. 2019
