  Oh…how I adore Elisabetta’s wines and getting to drink Granato with some age is a huge treat! Popped and poured; enjoyed over a two hour time period and it evolved very nicely in that time. The 2010 Granato pours a deep ruby with near opaque core. Medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of cassis, fresh sage, mild funk, granite rock and a soft expression of warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with good structure still. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and there is a drying sensation of almost licking a rock. As mentioned earlier, this opened up beautifully after about 30min and continued to shine. Admittedly, I don’t have a lot of data points on decade+ Teroldego so it’s hard to say for sure how long this could last however, when I consider that this is still developing and doesn’t show much in terms of secondary characteristics, I would say this still has a long life ahead. Drink now with a short decant or through 2030; possibly longer.

  PnP room temp, no decant. Clear, dark purple color. Med nose. This drank very nicely. Med body, clean, sharp, wonderful integration and balance. No sharp edge and ideal drinking window with a nice long finish. Nothing off. $54

  Great wine that continues to improve, should stay at this level or improve in the next 2-3 years

  This has benefited far more from time than I guessed it would. Tremendous. 13%

  Dinner at Osteria Langhe (Chicago, IL): I have to admit this really isn't the sort of wine I would generally like to drink (it's incredibly generous with its fruit) and there is a little bit of a balsamic character here. This is quite full-bodied and plummy, and I admit there's something a little "natural" about it too (though that might be from the volatility).
