2017 Roccolo Grassi Recioto della Valpolicella
4/26/2024 - William Kelley Likes this wine:
Grassi's 2017 Recioto della Valpolicella is a beautiful wine, wafting from the glass with aromas of licorice, orange confit, roasted berries and vine smoke, followed by a medium to full-bodied, deep and fleshy palate with a sweet core that's tempered by elegantly mordant structuring tannins to render this cohesive and harmonious, concluding with a perfectly balanced finish.

2019 Azienda Agricola Valentini Trebbiano d'Abruzzo
4/25/2024 - William Kelley Likes this wine:
The 2019 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is a beautiful vintage for Valentini, unfurling in the glass with gently reductive aromas of briny green olive, mandarin pith, fresh fennel, fennel seed and wet stones. Medium to full-bodied, layered and textural, with a deep core that's framed by palate-coating reserves of enlivening dry extract, in its aromatic profile and its antimony of texture and mordancy it's uniquely Italian, yet it can stand alongside some of France's greatest whites.

1994 Domaine des Comtes Lafon Meursault 1er Cru Charmes
4/20/2024 - William Kelley Likes this wine:
Lafon's 1994 Charmes is drinking beautifully, wafting from the glass with aromas of confit orchard fruit, lemon oil, iodine and chamomile, followed by a medium to full-bodied, satiny and suave palate that exhibits exceptional tension and structure for the vintage, its core of ripe fruit fully intact and framed by chalky structuring extract. This is a definite over-performer that's in its prime today.
