Excellent full bodied CC, nice combination of red fruit with lots of sophistication; leather, plum, some spice plus typical earthy/dusty notes. Pairs very well with Italian food, as expected. Good stuff for sure

5/27/2024 - spendergast Likes this wine: 98 points

Decanted 2 hours. A big wine with highly extracted fruit, notes of black raspberry, plum, cassis with hints of game and forest floor. Tannins are well integrated but still prominent. I think this wine has yet to peak. Paired with smoked game meat pizza.

I like where this is at. Red fruit with some maturity with tobacco and and cedar notes. Still quite tannic and austere--almost oppressively on the finish. At a good spot but I suspect can go another 5-10yrs easily

2022 Torciano Chianti Crete Rosse

5/26/2024 - Bodyfxr wrote: 85 points

Slow oxed for 30 minutes. Dark garnet red in hue. The nose was demure with some red fruit and light floral notes. Medium bodied on the palate. Cherry and red plum along with hints of barrique dominate. Tannins are barely present and acid is low. The finish is short and soft. A good quaff and an easy drinker. This wine is not made to be laid down, so drink up.

Beautiful, elegant Sangiovese in the style of Montevertine. A bit young, but if you can take a bit of tannin, drinking very well right now.

Wow, this is still nice - even with age. Cranberry, black tea foundational on nose. Floral rose, hints of tar and cedar resin. Great acid, tannic, mineral, juicy and mineral infused. This has a remarkably long finish, and great complexity. black pepper. Refreshing.

NV Il Palazzone Rosso del Palazzone Vino da Tavola

Sangiovese more

5/27/2024 - mks83 Likes this wine: 89 points

I was expecting a baby Brunello, and this was clearly not, in a charming/determined way. Dark garnet color with some clarity. The nose is very mild, consisting of cassis liquor, cooked cherry, and burnt tire. In the mouth, richer than the nose, the fruit draws gentle convex curve - staring off round/gentle, intensifies gradually, and fades away towards rather short finish. The tannins are medium with powdery texture, but comes with delay as if wrapped in a wafer paper. Medium (-) acidity is totally hiding in the background. As a red, this is a simple wine that lacks substance. However, if I consider this as dark-dark rose with additional tannins (the wine has focused purity that could pass as rose), this is such a voluptuous one. Inexplicably good. 89-90.

2020 La Spinetta (Rivetti) Barbera d'Asti Superiore Cà di Pian

more

5/27/2024 - Ellen5181 Likes this wine: 90 points

Appearance - clear,opaque ruby. Especially at the heart of it.

Nose - clean, youthful, you have alcohol and I would say in the higher realms here. Lots of eye burn. Notes are interesting. There is a meaty quality to it. Savory notes. Seasonings. Honestly smell more of that then fruit. Salted and seasoned red meat.

Palate - fresh youthful, clean, getting dark cherry sweet over sour, berries, it’s a thick wine on the palate. Medium plus body. Feels balanced but you get some alcohol burn on throat at end. Acidity is medium. Tannins are medium plus but there is a slight pause before they emerge. There is a similarity to a nice merlot. There is a dark chocolate covered xxx quality to this wine. Finish is medium plus. I can see this wine pairing nicely with braised cuts of beef.

At this price point I think this is a very versatile wine with good value for money. Has an interesting nose and palate with “other” notes emerging as it gets more air making me curious to possibilities.

Saving this until 2024 paid off. The "grapey-ness" of the last bottle I opened (2021) has matured out and its become a silky earthy cherry delight.

Popped and poured. Very dark Ruby color, tobacco-tinged nose. The wine is a bit tight, as one might expect from a youthful Chianti Classico, but it is quite promising. Lots of dark fruit, with lot interesting tertiary no roast meat, Tara, and Mami Leiden notes. Weine has an excellent QPR, and has lots of upside.

2nd of 3. This hasn't advanced much since my 2022 bottle (12/11/22 below) - very similar presentation and aging well. I think my prior 94 was a bit high for this, but it's a very nice wine that all of my dinner guests enjoyed.

More distinctly floral than I remember other recent vintages. Even as the price has gone up on this, it still overdelivers for value.
